However, I think you'd enjoy reading some of the "Long distance hunting and shooting" articles on Dan Lija's website: [url="http://www.riflebarrels.com"]www.riflebarrels.com[/url] One of his stated favorite rifles is the .270 Weatherby with a 30" barrel. Mind you, this is a heavy rifle, with the 130 ballistic tip bullet. I personally like a longer barrel. I don't mind the extra wt. or length. I have 24-25.5" barrels on my 270's, and a 28" barrel on my 300 RUM. I like the extra velocity with less powder.
