[QUOTE="4bycamper, post: 1033272, member: 17128"] Hi Ken, Welcome to LRH! You're right to question putting more $$ into a 22 inch 7 mag. A 24 inch barrel gets you most of what you want a 7 mag to do. 26 inch or longer is better yet. My 26" 7 mag kicked harder than my 24" 7 mag. This tells me that there is still more powder to be used in a 24" barrel. This rifle probably was intended to be used in really tight woody areas. Like an Eastern woods. 60 yard visibility. Not a good candidate for expensive, high powered glass. If you really love the rifle, you can get a pre threaded, pre chambered barrel and screw it onto this rifle yourself. With the right tools of course. If you choose a new rifle you can get some really good options. Like accutrigger, or 26" fluted barrel from several different manufactures. I might would keep this one for a truck gun and build a long barrel one from a target action. [/QUOTE]
