[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1317711, member: 74902"] I would keep it at 24". Then with brake it would be about 26". Rifles over 26" just don't swing well to get on game. They just seem slow and aren't quick to handle at all. Even a 24" barrel is much better than a 26" barrel in this aspect. So maybe you could remove the brake and add a thread protector for even quicker handling in certain situations. Speed loss might be 50 or so FPS between a 24" and 26" barrel. That will never be noticed at medium distances, say inside 700 yards. Plus, differences in BC of bullets chosen would have a bigger effect than that anyways. The 24" barrel would be stiffer in the lighter contour and may help accuracy or at least be easier to tune with less barrel whip. It would also be a bit lighter AND would probably resolve the possible issues brought up by Rahnarnar. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
