[QUOTE="okieloader, post: 1014985, member: 85740"] I know there is just a ton of info out there on this. Finding it or finding the answer to my question is the challenge. My question is not one I've seen answered directly so I will throw it here. I want to build my first long gun and I was looking into the Remington 700 series. I have decided that I'd rather shoot a 30-06 over the 308, but could go either way. I realize the 30-06 has more velocity which spells higher energy. What I don't get is how does the barrel length play into all of this? If I had to choose a 24" barrel in 30-06 OR a 26" barrel in 308, which would provide the best platform to build on? Please understand that my question was intended to be a conversation on caliber AND barrel, not just caliber. Many thanks from a LRH newbie. [/QUOTE]
