RE: Guys...a little help!
I would agree that if you get a Remington, find a nice used one.
I don't know why Browning is putting a 26" tube on the 7mm Mag but it must be for some reason. They usually think things thru before doing it. Theoretically, it will give you about 100 fps more velocity which would translate into a flatter shooting gun. If you really like the Browning, but want a 24 inch barrel, take it to a gunsmith and have them cut the barrel down and recrown it. Cost would be around 75.00 to 100.00 at the most. Or, you might check with a GOOD dealer and see if he can order you a Browning from the factory with a 24 inch tube on it.
