24"; 1-10" That will shoot any bullet you want or should want to shoot in an '06 without "over stabilizing" the bullet and the length will allow the efficient use of powders as slow as 4350.

If you were willing to hold it to 180 gr, you could use a PacNor 3 groove 1-12". They work very well I understand on the lighter end.

Mine has a Douglas 25" medium sporter 1-10", probably 4 or 5 groove. 1-10" will be a must for 200-220 gr.
