[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 248334, member: 2736"] The 22" barrel should pick up between 100 and 200 ft/sec over the 18". The 308 based cases seem to top out arround 20 to 22" of barrel, longer doesent get you much ( You reach the point of diminishing returns ) unless your shooting heavy bullets. A 20 0r 22" # 5 contour Lilja will fit the stock with very little work and add maby 1/2 of a pound to the model 7 and it will be a lot stiffer ( More accurate ). I have a 7/08 mod 7 in a 20" lilja and it pushes the 120 gr blistic tip 3150 , normal hunting load is 3010 ft/sec with the 120gr blist,tip. When it had a 18.5" barrel velocity with the same hunting load was just over 2800 ft/sec. so placing a custom 20" barrel improved velocity buy 200 ft/sec. Just my 2 cents J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
