Mykey the B-1 comes with a 26" barrel and the 24" barrel was on the 1-V . My partner has the 25-06 B-1 and it took a bit of work to get it to shoot right . We also have a 243 win RS-1 and a 6MM Rem B-1 and they are both tack drivers so you just never know .Its like any other gun some are good and some are not so good . The list on the B-1 nib is around $700 and the RS-1 is $800 . The used prices run from $400 to $550 here so the price doesn' t sound bad . We bought them at a estate auction and $450 was the most we paid for one ,but that is below dealer costs . They were all Nib.
