[QUOTE="Derek M., post: 230666, member: 2693"] My current 7mag wears a #4 Shilen, 24" long. If I could do it over, I'd go with a #3. I have in my safe a beautiful piece of steel from Krieger, a SS 7mm barrel ready to cut, crown, chamber, and install on my next project, 4 groove if I recall. I think and OD at the muzzle of .630 is about perfect. My next 7mag will have a 26" bbl. Don't get caught up on too much velocity loss. You mentioned it being a carry rifle, therefore, I'd not go any longer than 27" and 25-26" is about perfect. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
