[QUOTE="Deleted member 103481, post: 1944854"] 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.
