Why do you want to know the shortest length for a rifle?

I'l prolly go with hawkeye because
In benchrest shooting if your barrel is less that 18" its classed as a pistol.

The barrel has to be 16 inches, and overall length has to be over 26 inches.

That's almost as big as our pistols in the UK.
Our pistols must have a minimum barrel length of 12" and be a minimum overall length of at least 24"! Anything smaller is considered a "handgun" and of course we can't be trusted with them so they are Prohibited!
