The longer barrel will get more use of the pressure behind the bullet ,
For me stick with the Tikka barrel has if I'm correct somebody has shot out the .223 and rebarreled it to sell ( on the cheap ), or they've had it rebarreled and there something just not Wright , it might be me looking too far into it , my .223 tikka with a varmint barrel has had 100 round a month for the last 3-4 years with no sign of needing work on the barrel
