A 14.5” does hit at 500 pretty easily with a little bit of magnification. Longer barrels offer a little more forgiveness of range estimation errors. Its all a trade-off. I feel that 16” is the sweet spot for a DMR-type rifle. But 14.5 isn’t bad, and my current “recce” rifle in my safe is a 14.5” stainless with LPVO. 500m is as far as I shoot with any regularity, and if I’m dropping E-Types, I’m happy.
