[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1903054, member: 1656"] It's hard to go wrong with any of the top barrel makers. I've used Bartlein, Kreiger, Shilen, and McGowen and if you blinded the observer you couldn't tell the difference. I have an affinity to Savage/Remage prefits. IMHO if you plan on carrying that rifle at all you're taking on a LOT of barrel. Very heavy contour, very long. If that's what you want go for it, but it's not going to be a very carryable rifle. I don't think you need 30". I'm getting 3200+ fps out of my 243AI in a 24" heavy sporter barrel and I have a very carryable gun. The only hunting rifle I own with a 30" barrel is a 338 Edge because when you shoot a gun out to 2000 yards (targets, hunting is half that) the modest fps increase actually makes a difference. I can't imagine a scenario where it does in hunting with a 6mm. [/QUOTE]
