Dear CNTRYBOY1289:
You're probably right on bbl. length, but I always thought if my chrony doesn't show a significand mv gain (which I don't think it will) I'll whack it off to 24".
I'm using an FR8, Spanish action; it's a LR Mauser 98 and the transition rifle the Spanish used when they went from the 7X57 to the 308.
I love the Boyd pepper laminate stock; they're so hard that my 9.3X62 didn't even get glass bedded at the recoil shoulder.
Thanks for the comeback, and yes, I always detail the action. Harry B.
