[QUOTE="Scot E, post: 566876, member: 10832"] I don't have personal experience with the 6.5-06 but do know that the 06 case performs very well with 24 and even 22 inch barrels. Velocity is going to be the only gain and I personally wouldn't go 26 unless it is a dedicated LR rig. I personally don't like packing 26 inch barrels. If you are looking at a #3 contour you are probably looking at some hiking with the gun so I would just go with the 24 inch and call it good. I am sure more guys with specific experience with the 6.5-06 will chime in. There are quite a few threads about the 6.5-06. Here are some. Maybe you can glean some good info here.
