I'm gonna go ahead and assume you've never hunted in colorado, nevada, utah, idaho montana wyoming... were the mountains are steeper than a cows face and im sure as hell not packing a 30" 16 pound "lr" rifle on my my back for a week long or longer trip in country that makes most flat lander's say F that .. the point is to make a 1000 yard and under rifle that swings like a fine shotgun if you need it in the heavy timber and shoots like a heavy gun for those longer shots out to a thousand. and running a suppressor so your ears will thank you even more

Nope, and Yep.

Unfortunatly I hane not shot at those places but would love to. BUT, I have shot well beyound that, under extream cover, with a very good spotter in some very WARM places on two legged game with a high degree of success. I' m still here and much of my game is NOT!

I think maybe my post was taken differently than I meant it to be. Im just offering my info so OP can decide how it fits into what he wants, not telling him it's the answer to his question.

If I was personally building a "1000 yard elk gun" I'd probably want another inch or two on it, or perhaps a bigger case. If I was building an all around long range hunting rifle that can also go out that far.... well... I'd do what I did :)

the only hunting rifle I would consider a barrel longer than 24" anymore is I guess what could be termed a canyon rifle. Something like a lapua improved, about 16 pounds that I could go to sleep behind. That may be what OP is wanting, if it's a dedicated ELR elk rifle. Otherwise for a carry it all over gun I just love shorter barrels. I think 22-24" is a good range, if I felt I needed some more steam I'd personally go up to a 24" 30 nosler before I went to a 26" prc. But that's just me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

after seeing more about the rest of OPs arsenal and where this rifle will fit in I agree stepping up to a bigger case and perhaps a 338 would probably make the most sense, seems like he has rifles to cover the all around LRH rifle situation and this is truly a specialized big boomer build.

Which would you suggest? How about. 30 Nosler? Looks like specs call for a 3.34" coal, so the rem la 700 would have plenty room for the long Bullets. How short of a barrel on that?

That is what SAMMI calls out that is not optimal. Why would you want a bigger case capacity and a short barrel you want to optimize powder burn in the case not the barrel.
