[QUOTE="270winmuley, post: 2845386, member: 117444"] Thanks for the response. I really love the rifle but it is now my dedicated mountain rifle for mule deer, elk and bears so I want to make it as handy as I can for a magnum long action gun without making it impractical or stupid loud (refuse to shoot a muzzle break for this reason) and losing too much performance. I’m not a long range hunter and I try to keep shots within 450 and preferably 300 and in. Have gone further but it’s not for me. I think I have decided that if I cut it I will go to 24” as that seems to be the sweet spot. A local smith said he would do it for $75 and I guess if I can’t get a load re tuned for it and can’t get it to shoot, I’ll cut my losses and re barrel with a true 24” and have a hard lesson learned.
