[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 1049155, member: 63138"] I rebarreled my old trusty 24" Sako Finnbear 30-06 with a 26" Krieger heavy sporter - also in 30-06. Since I hand load I like a barrel as long as I can get without upsetting the balance of the rifle. A side benefit of a longer tube - it moves the muzzle blast further away from your ears and reduces the pressure at bullet exit and increases velocity. I cringe when somebody mentions a barrel length shorter than 26" - but that is jut me. For what your intended use, I would go with the length where the overall rifle has the best balance. [/QUOTE]
