I think the 7.8" is better myself but that's just preference. As for the mags $11.06 each https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/713071038/CHIAPPA+MAGAZINE+MOD.+M4-22
Joseph, I prefer the 11.8 because i like my flip up sight closer to the muzzle. As for the magazine i would buy the $11.06 magazine better deal. https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/713071038/CHIAPPA+MAGAZINE+MOD.+M4-22
The 11.8 will be the better "balanced" option as well as slightly more accurate using iron sights (no difference with a scope) due to the longer sight radius. A balanced rifle is what you should be concerned with. budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/713071038/CHIAPPA+MAGAZINE+MOD.+M4-22
