[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 574494, member: 25383"] you need to shoot my 700 in .223. It's got the generic #5.5 contour that Remington uses, but the barrel length is twenty inches long. I figure I lost about 75fps over the twenty six inch barrel. The shorter barrel is about three times more rigid, and the balance is so good that it's easy to shoot off hand. I'll probably rebarrel that rifle this year if I get the time & money. But the barrel will still be no more than twenty two inches long. In the 22-250 case type, I think the twenty four inch barrel is about right (a 23" would work as well). Honestly that rifle chambered in 6BR with a 22" barrel would be a killer! Or better yet 6BG with a 22" barrel and a 1:10 twist for 87 grain bullets. Now I'm thinking too much gary [/QUOTE]
