I used to be a fan of longer barrels too, prefering a 26" pipe on my hunting rifles, but after shooting a friends 7mm-08 with a 22" barrel I couldn't see ANY difference in performance. I like the way that the shorter barrel makes the rifle feel when I am shooting off hand too.
7mm08 is a super all around cartrage ...not much difference in muzzle volicity of it and a 30/06 ... i took a WT deer last year that weighed 335lbs ....
