[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 458734, member: 505"] Mine is a 26" #3 Pac-Nor on a Sako action. It shoots very well. I didn't feel like I could go any shorter with the 264 win mag and it needs at least a #3 at that length for consistent accuracy. Two of the best light carry rifles I have built for long range mountain carry rifles were the 264 Gibbs and the 264-300 WSM. They both utilize faster burning powders and retain good velocity in shorter barrels. I did a 264-300 WSM with a 24" #3 barrel and it was extremely accurate. It was very accurate at long range with the 130 Swift Scirroco, 130 and 140 Berger. All three of those bullets have good BC's. This rifle with the 140 Berger would shoot better at long range than the 168 Berger in my 7mm rem mag. Same BC but the 140 was faster with less powder, recoil and noise. Cheaper to reload and easier to shoot. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
