Greetings,
I’m saving for a lever action .41 mag because I love the Blackhawk I have and want a rifle that shoots the same thing.
My question is about barrel length. This is going to be a deer/bear rifle. When I say bear I mean behind dogs in thick mountain terrain. That makes me think carbine (which, on the Henry, is 16.5”). Would I be losing much? The other option would be 20”. Would I gain that much velocity or sight radius to make the longer option worth it?
