My first deer rifle was a Remington Model 600 in .308 Win. 18.5" barrel.
If you aren't doing houseclearing or constantly getting in and out of vehicles with your rifle there is no point to going with a shorter barrel.
Plus, while the federal legal limit is 16" minimum, there are state laws in some places that require 18" or more for hunting.
No, it doesn't make sense, but game laws don't have to.
