[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 1679809, member: 14204"] All the concerns you noted boils down to personal preference. The idea of having the longer barrel is more velocity (~25-30 FPS an inch) and you can shorten it later if it does not work put for you but not the other way around. My longest barrel that drag up the mountains of Montana is a 30" barrel (.270 AI) + muzzle. It is what additional weight and length you are willing and able to carry. Having said that, I a harvested a Montana bull elk at 931 yards with a 24" barrel in .300 WM. My other 2 .300 WMs are also has 24" barrels. Also have a .300 WSM in 24". Good luck! [/QUOTE]
