[QUOTE="silvertip-co, post: 490268, member: 8712"] ahhh one of my favorite rants. The tech guys all say the poweder is burnt by the end of 20" so whats purpose of longer barrel ever. My disagreement is the reverse... if you buy a WhizBang Magnum calibre rifle whats the point of it if you DON'T have a 26" barrel??? Mfr's continue to pump out rifles in mag cals with 22 and 24" bbls and my question is '***?' . I know their marketing fools tell them it saves 10.00 on the retail price (that no one EVER pays) but to me it hampers performance. So my Model 70 7mm Rem Mag has a 26" barrel, so did the 2nd rifle I ever bought(thru the mail) way back in 1965( a LH 264 Win Mag). This dinosaur always recommends 26" with mag cals and 24" with non mag cals. Over. [/QUOTE]
