[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 331208, member: 2011"] Pokey, eh? Too bad......:D 1B:rolleyes: Nope, those lengths won't make your 338 Win ineffective. I'm assuming you are not considering a carry rifle but more of a dedicated LRH rifle. I noticed no problem going from a 24 to 26" carry rifle. Attempting to carry a 30" + brake LRH rife proved a bit of a challenge. For the first while I was banging the brake on every tree that I passed.:rolleyes: 24" is good. 26" is better. above 26" I'd begin considering a heavier contour than the standard sporter barrel to make it even more effective. Most probably at least a Sendero contour. But if you're already adding a barrel to an action why not go at least w/a RUM That would make things more effective all the way around. Or give some thought to an Edge and get bit more effectiveness. [/QUOTE]
