[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1337748, member: 12995"] For a magnum cartridge, you won't be getting the most out of it, by going with less than a 26" barrel...But it's all in personal preference. Not really sure Remington decided to only thread a 24" version, and not the 26" version (kind of stupid, IMO), but getting a barrel threaded later is not that difficult or that expensive. Also, unless you're adding a radial brake, you'll still need to have the brake timed by a gunsmith, so you'll probably need to have a smith fit it anyway...So, getting the 26" and having it threaded won't cost much more in that instance. Either way he'll be chucking it in the lathe and having to cut on it, might as well get the 26" and have it threaded. Just my thoughts. If you plan on adding it later, and don't have a smith nearby, the 24" threaded might be best, but you will be losing about 100-150 fps of muzzle velocity over the 26" model. [/QUOTE]
