[QUOTE="sewwhat89, post: 173859, member: 4587"] If you hunt from box stands or some kind of enclosure, I would stay with 22-23" barrels at a max. If you are hunting from the ground shooting prone, I would go with a 25-26" barrel for the stability and a little more umph out the barrel and less umph coming back. Personally, I use 22" barrels on my tree-climber rifle, box stand rifle and walkabout rifle; however, one of my stands is nothing more than a shooting table for LR work. There I am shooting a 26" barrel. That is only because that is all I have right now. The plans are to fix that this spring if the money holds out with a 6.5 of some kind over a 708. That may change, but . . . . [/QUOTE]
