[QUOTE="NeedForSpeed, post: 1679797, member: 108307"] Im looking at a 30 cal magnum caliber, either 300 Win Mag, 300 PRC or 300 WSM for hunting elk and moose. Considering Seekins , Fierce and Christensen arms but if I found another better choice it would be an option. Seekins makes a 24 in barrel but the others are 26 inches in 30 cal mags with Fierce making a 24 in 300 WSM. Most of my current rifles are 24 in barrels and many of the rifles I’m considering are 26 inches without and 28 inches with a brake. The 300 WSM is my least preferred option but does have a more compact rifle with a 24 inch barrel. I’m concerned that a 4 inch longer barrel might be cumbersome to carry and shoot in wooded areas but maybe I’m worrying about something that isn’t that big a deal. Is there a reason other than increased projectile velocity to go with a longer barrel? Interested in your thoughts an experience. Thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
