It was pump action for me until I got into hunting. I was looking into levers but all the triggers are pretty subpar, and I didn't realize the Bar was still legal, pretty happy with it. It's long but for hunting it's not an issue. Definitely makes me feel better being out in the middle of nowhere alone with the prey and predators.

True, I guess most hunting rifles are 20 inches or close anyways. 

What caliber is your bar in?? I've been looking at the cheaper used European 3006 ones for a while now.  Figured the cost savings over the 308 versions were worth it,  though if they finally bring in the removable magazines bars,  that might change

Edit  reread your first comment and realized you said it was a 308!

Yeah I landed on .308 for a few reasons-

-It's plentiful, and PMC bronze is available for cheap training ammunition. -It holds 4 in the hinge mag instead of 3. -Recoil to lethal range ratio is perfect for North American game all the way up to moose.

Definitely feel you on that, my highest caliber gun is my 308 bolt action for many of the same reasons. Cheapo norinco ammo, or spend a little bit extra for the PMC bronze, and more capacity in the mags.
