[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 760374, member: 2736"] A 24" barrel is fine in a short action and if it is not awkward in a stand you are good to go. I normally make short barreled rifles with a little heaver contour and this helps on running targets and accuracy. As we all know a long barrel with a heavy contour is muzzle heavy and is not ideal for running or follow up shots. The 308s,708s,260s, and 243s perform well with short barrels and are very handy. the longest .308 barrel I ever used was 28" and the advantage was with Iron Sites (IT gave it a long site radius) velocity was not that much better than a 22" barrel (Around 100 ft/sec).
