[QUOTE="davewilson, post: 165012, member: 4491"] if it's shot out, i'd go back to 32" and shoot,experiment with every bullet/powder combo and practice a whole bunch. then you could set it back another 3" to 29 if the accuracy falls off you'd probably get another 500 rounds out of it. then when you rebarrel, you can make it a big 338 and have a real hammer! i think the barrel length question is more of a personal preference. myself i don't like the real long rigs so i just made a short gun with a long barrel. some hunt open terrain and a long barrel doesn't make much difference. others have to traverse more woods with thicker cover and a shorter barrel is a lot easier to carry around. to each his own, but it seems a waste of a good barrel to chop half a foot off of it. by the way, welcome aboard! you're at the right place.
