RE: 7MM Rem Mag. Rifle Built - 24" vs. 26" Barrel?
I bought a Win Mod 70 Black Shadowin 7mm Rem Mag. It came with factory 26" barrel, which is why I bought it. It shoots laser straight out to 400 then drops some to 600. Plenty for for me. I use only Hornady Light Mag 139gr SST ammo, cheap it aint (33.00 a box at Gary Olen's) but I am dead serious about long range shooting. I may start to reload again since I cant afford gas any more. I'll probably stuff the empty cases with 168 Bergers as they seem to work well(at least on tv).
Good luck with yours.
