Thank-you for the education guys. I went in Remingtons website and it seems like all the 700's have a 24" barrel {except the carbines} no matter what caliber.

For conversation,my 22,23 and 24" 25-284's are birds of a feather in the velocity department,with less than 75fps betwixt the trio in a worst case scenario.

My first 378 was 26",my second 24" and the difference was even less. My 375H&H Ackley Improveds ran the gamut from 22-24" and the differences were nothing. Have had 375H&H's from 22-26" and there's no difference there,worth fretting. The 24" 338Ultra is an outstanding platform too. Have built 243AI's from 22-26" and it's performance isn't hinged on long tubes.

Reality is,contour means little to nothing,because downrange performance is factored by the bore's interior,it's chambering quality and throat/mag harmony. One of the most accurate rifles I've ever shot,is a 700 based sub MR contoured 26" 257Wby wearing a PacNor 1-10".

Wives Tales are perpetuated by folks who don't shoot.

vabyrd,

Feel free to use your very modest comprehension to copy/paste anything I've mused,that you take issue with and I'll happily use smaller words and more pics,to help you understand.

I reckon I shoulda mulled the 223AI too,as I drive them from 20-26" with all stops in between. The 22-250AI,243AI,7-08 and 308 are nicely covered too,as far as firsthand extrapolations...but knowing is akin to "cheating" in these circles.

Feel free to guess on,as it is hilarious.

That as a shallow muse,because it is largely moot,due to different chamber reamers and bore dimensioning,which do skew pressures despite like ammo.

More succinct would be you mulling the bob of a given rifle's barrel and the velocity "loss" founded after the fact,again via chronograph and ammo denotation.

Feel free to mention which chronograph you gun,as well as a sample of your wares.
