[QUOTE="B-LOT Banga, post: 1668289, member: 106734"] Aloha, I just got an email to make my decision on my sons custom build on his old tikka action that had his barrel damaged. I since then bought him another T3X in 270 wsm like he was using and I decided to rebarrel his old action. I will be using a pac-nor barrel in 26” #4 contour fluted or 24” #3 contour but I’m stuck on deciding using a 24” or 26” barrel. The weight is about 5-7 ounces difference... this will be primarily a hunting rifle to pack and shoot the normal under 600 yds but with the option of a 1000+ if the shot presents itself with the right conditions. My question is will the 2” advantage of FPS and added weight justify the outcome I will harness (speed and accuracy)? I don’t know if this cartridge responds well to added barrel length, I know some do and some don’t. Please excuse my lack of knowledge and I was taught if I dont know them ask. I appreciate any info. Have a nice weekend.... aloha Kalsey Sr. [/QUOTE]
