[QUOTE="Shortmagman, post: 263905, member: 10723"] I have had some experience with a 260 Rem with a 20 inch barrel. I bought a Remington Model 7 with a 20 inch barrel sometime about 1998 so I have been shooting that gun with the stock barrel until last year when I had the gun re-barreled with a 22 inch Hart barrel. I have data from both. I know you want the gun to be light but I like a 22 inch barrel. As an example my 22 incher gives 2875 ft/sec with a 120 Barnes TSX bullet while the 20 inch barrel produced 2750 with the exact same load (47.0 grains of RL-19).I got 2914ft/sec with the 22 inch barrel and 2778 with the 20 inch barrel with the exact same load, 120 TSX bullet and 47 .5 grains of RL-19. I have had no difficult getting 2900 ft/sec with 130 Accubond bullets from the new Hart barrel. I never was able to get that with the stock barrel. I know that the barrel itself plays some role in this but I think the extra 2 inches also plays an important role. My gun with the Hart barrel weighs in at 8 lbs. and 12 oz about a pound more that you want, this with a 3x9x40 Nikon BDC Scope. I had Hart match the Accurate Innovations stock with the barrel contour so I don't know the exact contour that I have eventhought I know that it is heaver than what you want. I am quite pleased with my set up. [/QUOTE]
