[QUOTE="Clark, post: 422488, member: 6600"] [img]http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/xx220/ClarkM/VZ24260-1.jpg[/img] Mine is 22" Douglas factory blued and long chambered #3 taper. I got the 260Rem 98 Mauser barrel unused off the internet. I don't have a 260 reamer, and I am no 260 expert. Someone on the internet sent me a VZ24 action with welded bolt handle. I bought a used scope off the internet. I pulled a military stock from my bone pile. It has only been to the range 3 times. I do have Quickload and have played "what if" with that. It only fired 3 shots on the third trip to the range per my range report: The 120 gr Ballistic tip will probably be what I use if I ever hunt with it. The difference between 22" and 26" barrels is ~ 100 fps, which is about 50 yards. I generally give up on a bullet, for mule deer, when it gets below 2000 fps, 1000 foot pounds, or 8 moa elevation from a 200 yard zero , which ever comes first. The elevation limit is at 550 or 550 yards. The power limit is a 800 or 850 yards. The velocity limit is at 600 or 650 yards. So I can't see any real practical difference for 26" over 22". [/QUOTE]
