    It's a trade off between length and shot capacity. For hunting you'll not be needing 70+ shots so I reckon the shorter barrel outweighs the drop in shots.
    The classic is a wee bit long with silencer added.

    I can only echo what the Mad one has just said and add that I find the balance to be better on the carbine.

    the carbine has got round any HFT course that I've ever come across with no problem whatsoever.

    I use a Classic, it lets me have 20-30 shots on the zeroing range, do the hft course and plenty of shots after when I revisit my 0's and 1's
    Mine is a .22 but remember the shot count is less with a .177.

    Used for hunting- probably more than you could ever carry

    What ever one you buy you'll have fun,


    Rog.

    Another vote for the carbine mate. Not too short, light and really comes on aim nicely.
