    I found a nice 2nd hand rifle that has done minimal work, the problem is that it has been cut down to 19”. Looking at velocities, there is only around 100fps lost from a 24” barrel down to the 19”. But my main concern is more around accuracy out to 600metres (max).

    Any thoughts on this?

    Cheers,
    John
    Just read your post properly, you'll plink out to that range no problem at all with a 19".
