[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 84066, member: 10"] 26" is as short as I would ever recommend and that would be for a light weight big game rifle. For long range work I would say 28" is about rifle and 30" will work great as well. The Lapua does not need an overly long barrel, I feel 28" is about right for this bore and case capacity. Remember that you will only gain about 16-18 fps per inch of barrel over 26" with this chambering so its not as dependent on barrel length as say the 30 cal magnums. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
