    Why would anyone want the longer heavier barrel

    Unless shooting at extreme long range (many don't/can't) it's not always worth the extra weight and length and in some calibers a few extra inches don't help much at again, not extreme ranges. Barrel thickness doesn't effect ballistics.

    Accuracy between 26” to 16” isn’t going to be an issue. A lot of testing out there shows little to no increase in accuracy between 13” to 26” barrels. Shorter barrel will get your less velocity but not much. This is for distances of 1000yds or less. So carrying 10” extra of barrel is pointless
