[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2701869, member: 27307"] I didn't think it was too long ago that every common factory rifle usually came with 22" barrels. As with all things in the shooting world, we asked for longer barrels and got them...and a higher price of course. So 22" barrels are really nothing new, just what goes around comes back around. Editorializing off. The difference between the two models is really the construction (7075T6 vs steel) and the resulting weight. Ralph Stolle brought these aluminum actions to the forefront: [B]The use of aluminum in rifle actions has been the ultimate goal of many people for a number of decades.[/B] [HR][/HR] First developed by Ralph W. Stolle in the late 60's and the early 70's, the Stolle line of actions emerged after many changes in design and techniques. The rigidity and lightweight characteristics are highly desirable features, a must in today's competitive benchrest rifles. Made entirely of 7075-T651 aircraft aluminum and 4140 alloy steel, they insure the optimum in stiffness and durability. [URL]https://www.kelbly.com/actions-aluminum/[/URL] As far as the barrel length is concerned, I've have/had it both ways: 30"/32" competition barrels. 20" suppressed tactical and hunting barrels. I like and use both for obvious reasons. All you really need to realize is the difference in load development. They are not the same. Enjoy the process! :) [/QUOTE]
