[QUOTE="lloydsmale, post: 838484, member: 41442"] youll probably get more answers on this forum favoring the 26 inch barrel and some will say even longer but if its a hunting rig the little bit of velocity the longer barrel will give you doesnt mean much. Ive got two 7mags one with a 24 inch and one 26 and i certianly cant tell which is more effective shooting deer in field condtions. Also keep in mind that that two inches of barrel might net you nothing. I have a 300 wby with a 24 inch barrel that actually is faster then my old 300 with a 26. Certainly thats not the norm but in most cases theres less of a gain then youd think. [/QUOTE]
