[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 2138642, member: 108965"] For the 7mm Rem Mag a 26" is the ideal barrel lenght. A short barrel is not more accurate then a longer one in any way. What range is the max you will be shooting at? The longer barrel will let you reach out a little further and a short barrel will limit your range a bit. If you shoot offhand a longer barrel works best, you will be able to handle it better and hold it more steady. If not then you can go a little shorter. Shorter barrels provide more recoil, a brake will help, if this even matters to you. There are a lot of factors to consider before making this decision. My 7mm Rem Mag has a 26" and weights 11 lbs, you get a liittle more velocity and it's not tough to carry at all even on tough terrain. We usually walk anywhere from 4 to 7 miles in a day. Hope this helps and stay safe. [/QUOTE]
