[QUOTE="brentc, post: 1057310, member: 16938"] I have a fluted 28" 7RM #6 contour and the extra length is worth it. I run 180's with Retumbo at 3030 - 3050 fps depending on the powder lot. It doesn't even break a sweat doing it either. I've got 6 firings on my current batch of Winchester cases. I say go with the 28" barrel. If you don't like it, have a couple inches taken off. The Sendero contour will give you plenty of meat and if you flute it for maximum weight reduction it will balance better. If it's a pack rifle, a 26" [U]might [/U]handle slightly better. I've hiked my 28" 7RM up and down some nasty places and never found the barrel to be a hindrance. [/QUOTE]
