[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1753370, member: 52437"] This is not exactly accurate. You could say that about any rifle. 22in is only 2 inches less than 24in and doesn't make much of a difference as an example. To put into perspective the difference, many will say average of 50fps lost per inch (sometimes more sometimes less). This could mean a 22inch 300 winmag could be similar velocities to a 26inch 3006. All that being said, it only matters what you need it for. If you need maximum velocity then 26in would be better, If you want a slightly lighter more handy rifle then 24in would be better. Also, some cartridges and powders are built with certain barrel lengths in mind. So the 50fps I mentioned earlier, could potentially be much more if you do not get complete powder burn due to the shorter barrel. I would have no issues with a 24in 300win mag though ;) [/QUOTE]
