[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 83475, member: 2011"] [b]Re: Is 26\" enough barrel for the 338 UltraMag?[/b] Well,,,,Hmmmmmm 26" bbl on both. Unless its a good deal $ wise and and is more way more accurate than your Win. I'd nix the deal. However..... My 338 Win (REM BDL) has only a 24 inch bbl and it shoots sub MOA. I'd make the deal in a new york minute, if I wanted a 338 RUM. The two inches would make a difference, in my case. 26" may not be too far off for a decent length of a 338 RUM. But where your 338 Win has a 26" bbl also, I think the biggest difference you would notice would be the size of the shovel to scoop the powder into it.
