tradewinds270 WSM Barrel Length?
I am having a Hart Barrel installed on a Win Mod 70. I am having a hard time deciding between a 24 or 26 inch Barrel. I would like some of your opinions.
Thanks

<MOA>I'm doing the same thing with my M70 270WSM. I thrwe on an HS precion sporter stock and will re-barrel with a Lilja. After working up a load with a 135 SMK that shoot consistant half inch groups I think I'll shoot out my barrel first. I was planning on going with a #4 contour fluted 25"-- as long as your gonna pay close to a fortune for a barrel why not get somethin that isn't as common. Should make a good balance between portability and velocity.
