[QUOTE="Ranger Rick, post: 1909326, member: 111184"] Welcome Patriot. The LRH forum is an awesome source of gun info, and I am learning a ton from the many excellent contributors. You will surely enjoy it 😊 I have a similar attraction to 26” barrels. Have you looked into Browning’s Hell's Canyon Long Range? It has a 26” barrel and a 1:7” twist. I had one in 6.5 Creedmoor. After break in and replacing the trigger spring, I was able to shoot .5MOA or better. I sold it because IMO 6.5CR is marginal for elk hunting. I planned to buy the same rifle in 6.5 PRC, but I eventually went with a 26” MPA (A wolf + elk rifle). I am replacing my 7 mag BDL barrel with a 26” Bartlein barrel, and I am building a hunting rig 300 PRC with a 26” prefit Proof carbon barrel shouldered to a BigHorn SR3 action. I’m from Ada County, and I’m glad to welcome another Idahoan to LRH :) PS I have a shorter X Bolt Stalker in 7mm-08 and it’s also a shooter. [/QUOTE]
