[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 2595094, member: 61747"] I had a couple 28-28.5” 6.5-284’s, basically a twin to the 6.5-06. I also had several 24-26”. It’s a bit odd i suppose but I hunt with a can exclusivly now and run shorter barrels, overall length hasn’t changed much. Obviously the shorter barrel isn’t really shorter due to the can. For example 1 of my prc’s is 18” and with a 7” can is 25”. So having played with this entire process for quite some time I think 24-26 is fine for that cartridge but the contour etc will dictate how the rifle balances for you. It’s a compromise game and generally for long range hunters that 100 fps doesn’t mean a lot but it does mean something regardless, and that’s a personal choice. [/QUOTE]
