What size lathe to get?

For hobby stuff, not pro work. I would like to do rifle barrels, but I can wait till later for something that long. If I start with a benchtop size lathe, how soon will I outgrow it? Which brands and models do you use and recommend? If I go for the big one, what possible sources should I seek for good used ones?

Thanks,
OrdnanceGuy :)
