OK, so whenever I read published velocities I see "in a 24" barrel" (not talking about mags here). Then I look and everyone sells 22" barrels. (Specifically I'm thinking .30-06, but since I'm also looking at some medium bore rounds as well, include that in your comments.)
All my hunting is within 300 yards--I'm not planning on ever hunting longer than that.
In my way of thinking, since I am not looking for a lightweight gun, and since I'm thinking that whatever gun I get next I want to do 'larger' game up to a dream grizzly hunt I want as much barrel as I can get. The M70 Alaskan, one of the Kimbers, some of the semi-custom rifles all come in 24-25" barrels.
So, someone tell me I'm crazy for wanting to 'go long', or why I can just stick with the run-of-the-mill 22" rifles (including many M70's and Kimbers for example).
Thanks,
Greg
