When I went looking for a 25-06 recently, the fact that the Savage only had a 22" barrel turned me away from that rifle, which I initially wanted. I ended up buying a Weatherby Vanguard with a Walnut stock. It has a 24" barrel.
The Vanguard isn't light weight by a stretch, weighing in a 7 3/4 pounds with no scope on top. The test target that came with the rifle is impressive though.

Hey Don I think you made a good choice. Especially since you get to look at the factory target before you buy it and if the factory can shoot good groups with the gun with factory ammo so can you! And there's a good chance it will shoot even better with handloads. Personally, I would prefer the gun to be a little on the heavy side versus being too light anyway

Don't mess with the barrel. 22" will burn all the powder without too much mazzle flash
