[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 949853, member: 12995"] 243 AI would be ok with a shorter barrel, since it has a .308 based case, but a 26" barrel would add some velocity. The .25-06 AI, I wouldn't use anything shorter than a 26" barrel. 26" is perfect for it. I generally use ONLY 26" (or longer) barrels, unless it is a .308 Win. In which case you can get by with a 20" barrel, but even that said, my .308 has a 24" heavy barrel. You can use a 24" barrel on a .25-06 and .25-06 AI, and it will be fine, but you will get a little more velocity with a 26" barrel. You can't use a .25-06 AI barrel on a .243 rifle.......The .243 is a short action caliber, and the .25-06 is a long action caliber. You can put a .243 on a long action, but you can't put a long action caliber on a short-action receiver...That wouldn't make any sense. Are you talking about trading your 243 rifle for your buddy's 25-06 complete rifle? If so, that would be a better option than just trading barrels. [/QUOTE]
