[QUOTE="baldhunter, post: 2307300, member: 11853"] I really began to like the 30-06 more when I bought a 26" barreled Remington 700 Long Range.That longer barrel certainly gave it an extra boost in velocity.After that is when I decided to permanently ditch the 270 Win and rebarreled it to the beast.I've had a couple of 22" barreled 30-06's that really struggled to get to mid 2800's with a 168gr bullet.I have three 26" barreled 308 Win's that will do a little over 2800fps with that bullet so I really didn't see much difference between the two.Some barrels are faster,but the 22" 30-06's have been the least pleasurable to shoot out of all the 30-06's I've owned.I have three other 24" barreled 30-06's that I like,but I still think a 26" barrel really a great choice for the 30-06 and I think it's only offered in that length barrel in a factory rifle in the Remington 700 Long Range.The only thing I had against the one I have is it had an extremely long throat and the bullet would fall out of the case before it would touch the lands.I had it rebored to a 338-06 and it shoots great.
