simple straight forward question, and I would love to see a simple straight forward answer.

How much difference in accuracy could there possibly be with a 22-250 between barrel lengths of 26" and 28"??

Barrel length has very little to do with accuracy. There are an awful lot of short barreled benchrest guns out there that will out shoot anything that I own. Besides, 21 3/4" is the most accurate barrel length ;). If you don't believe me, ready this.

I can't really see there being any difference in accuracy or even velocity with a .22-250 rifle with that long a barrel. I could see maybe a little difference with some load holding 70-90 grains of powder like a big mag or ultra-mag, but a little guy  like a 22-250...no way IMO. That 26" tube has plenty of length to burn that powder up.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield
