Let's say you are looking at 2 modern Sharps style 1874 rifles, in say 45 110, the Quigley cartridge. One is a 34 inch barrel of standard weight (even though they call it HVY), and the other is a 30 inch 16 pounder.

Which will you buy, and why? Note, I am not looking at two rifles like this, I already have them, just curious about if folks are more interested in a lighter longer barrel, or a shorter heavier barrel.

I know, it depends on what you will be using it for....
