[QUOTE="Derek M., post: 890290, member: 2693"] That statement right there should offset any "benefit" you'd see. You bought the rifle intentionally for it's weight. Adding 2" of tube and/or going heavier on contour defeats your purpose. I'd stick with 24" and stay focused on the benefit of its weight and not a few more fps. Trust me, slow moving lead still kills great. When I saw some of those rifles in CO they had a 23" barrel. I strongly advise that if you are decided on a new tube with a 10T, then duplicate the factory bbl contour, make sure it's about 24" and be done with it. [/QUOTE]
