[QUOTE="LouBoyd, post: 282010, member: 9253"] I have two Firearms in 260 Rem. One is a DPMS LR-260 with a 24" barrel, the other is an XP-100 with a 15-7/8" barrel The XP 100 will push 123 Grain Lapua Scenar's supersonic to a bit over 1000 yards. The 24" to about 1400 yards. The shorter barrel's main drawback (other than reduced velocity) is that it makes the muzzle blast noticably louder. Neither has a brake. I'd suggest you make your choice based on what's comfortable for you to carry and shoot. Both of my 260's are built for prone target shooting. I wouldnt recommend either for hunting. [/QUOTE]
