It was just an observation I experienced. When Amos said he didn't see an improvement with his SVD, It made me think if there is any commonality. (Both have long barrels.) I have no idea if it is coincidence or not. Just though I would post my observation.
And yes, a long barrel is more accurate than a short barrel. If it weren't, there would be no need for long barrel. Do you think it is there for looks, or to make it less manouverable? That is why a sniper/hunting rifle has a long barrel. If they could get the same performance out of an 8 1/2" barrel, do you think they would schlep around something 20" - 30" long?
