Tikka T3 Varmint 6.5x55 20"or 23 3/4" barrel?

Your hearing! Way more muzzle blast in a short barrel. If you will never use the rifle without hearing protection, it makes no difference, and a short barrel might be a bit handier.
 
I didnt think the Varmint model was supposed to be handy ? what is the barrel profile ?

Then again maybe the shorter stiffer barrel offers better accuracy ?

Depends what you want to do with the rifle....for longer ranges....Ill take the extra 3.75 inches.
 
4" shorter barrel = -200fps or if your lucky only a 100fps loss.
If your going to play the long range game you will need all the barrel length you can get.
Just my 2 cents worth!
