Doing a little research on a Vepr 7.62x54R

And I came across this research paper. http://honors.usf.edu/documents/Thesis/U82488180.pdf

Nicely written and documented findings on the relation to the energy of a Mosin Nagant with different length barrels.

I had seen this before, but it is interesting to me at this time as I begin exploring the 18.5" Vepr 54R I am now using as a DMR.

I like the looks of the 20 inch Vepr but may end up going with the 23 inch. The 27 is just too "wrong" looking for lack of a better way to explain it.
