I'm rebarreling a FN Mauser 7mm Rem Mag I got years ago. It currently has a 26" #5 (yes #5). I want to stay at 26". Is a #3 to light? The #5 is a pain.

I think you'll be fine. I've owned a number of 7mm mag rifles and find it to be a very shootable cartridge with manageable recoil and less muzzle blast than most magnums. None of my 7mags had very heavy barrels. ----------------------------------------------------- Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you yourself will be just like him.

I agree with Rub Line. My 264WM carries a 26" #3 Lilja and it is not too heavy and gets the job done. Larry "Peace is that brief glorious moment in history, when everybody stands around reloading" -- Thomas Jefferson | |||

Are you sitting in a deer blind or lugging it up a mountain. If I was sitting in a stand and liked a stable platform, I would choose a heavier barrel. If sheep hunting; the lighter barrel. What type of hunting do you enjoy? | |||

I'll be walking with this rifle; maybe not mountains, but at least lots of walking and rolling hills.

My 7mm RM wears a 25" shilen CM. I think it's a 3 or 4 but shoots well. I load mine with Retumbo and RL 22. 3350 in 140 grthru 3000 in 175gr. Have a ball | |||
