[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 4550, member: 34"] Hello John I like longer barrels and found out long ago the advantages of the added velocity that they give. Depending on the ranges you intend to reach out to is what length I would go with for the calibers you mentioned. I would never go less then 30" on anything I shoot unless it was a factory rifle and i had no other choice. I have carry guns in the 7/300 Weatherby and 7mm Mag that weigh 11# that have 30" barrels and the guns that I reach out with that are mainly stationary, have 34" to 37" barrels. I have a 44" barrel standing by that I intend to make into a 300 RUM or Tomahawk this year. The velocity I should get from that one may be something to write home about. It all depends on the range you want to reach out to, but none of my custom guns have less then 30" barrels. Here is a list of some of them. You may be able to fit in your desire of a caliber from the ones I have. 6/06 IMP----30" 25Gibbs-----32" 308 Win-----30" 7mm mag carry gun 30" 6.5/300 Weatherby----30" 7/300 Weatherby Carry gun 30" (5) 300 Weatherby LR hunting or 1000 yd competition guns for my wife and I-- 30" 6.5/284---30" 6/284----30" 30 Gibbs-----30" 30 Goodling----30" 30/378----34" 300 Tomahawk --- 34" 338/416 Rigby----37" As you can see, most are at least 30" but I prefer 34 to 37" barrels on my LR hunting guns in large 30 and 338 cal. configurations. I would chose the 300 RUM with at least a 34" barrel out of the ones you mentioned for a longrange hunting cartridge. If your wanting a 30 cal rifle for 1000 yard match shooting, the 300 Win mag or 300 Weathetby with at least a 30" barrel would be my choice. Later [/QUOTE]
