    Pros of 16" = handier and lighter.
    Cons of 16" = slightly less velocity and louder than a longer barrel.

    Yep, and arguably the best warranty in the business. I recently had some old cheap Burris binos replaced with a brand new modern set under warranty.

    Never run a bore scope down the barrel of an accurate gun lol. It'll often show "problems" that aren't really problems. Ignorance is usually bliss in this case, imo.
