[QUOTE="thatguyshm, post: 2331452, member: 69989"] Twist rate? Purpose? I use a 26" on my 7mm and had thought many times to cut it down. I hunt in Colorado for elk so I want all the velocity I can get. In Maine, realistically no need for the extra length. I have taken two deer so far this year and both were in low light situations, and both times I still got a decent muzzle flash using RL23 and a hammer hunter. I'm honestly looking at getting the Savage Ultralight in 280 AI since it comes with a 22" barrel. Most of my hunting here doesn't require the extra four inches of barrel, longest shot I have is about 310 yards, and that hammer pole axed a small one at that distance this year. [/QUOTE]
