[QUOTE="COBrad, post: 2138317, member: 1940"] Gunwerks has a pretty interesting podcast on this very question. I had a 7mag with a 28” barrel. It was a specialty long range rifle but really to unwieldy as a general hunting gun. I’ve carried 24 and 26” barrels on magnum rifles just fine, but now using a 22” barrel on a .284. I really like this barrel length. The gun balances better, to me, and the entire rifle is just quicker and handier. Last time I took a poke at longer range it still shot half moa at 835 yds. [/QUOTE]
