[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 444871, member: 12"] Most of the barrel blocks now are aluminum and split and about 9". LR shooters and smiths tested different lengths and about 9" seems to be the optimum. As for the split block vs a solid block with hole and epoxy, hell of a lot easier getting the barrel out later on and putting the new on in. You will not regret going split block. Go to websites for Bruce Baer, Leonard Baity, Gordy Gritters and other top LR smiths to look at their blocks. BH [/QUOTE]
