I have several 26" barrels in the #24 Varmint profile, but not Magnum.

I ordered a new 26" but I just can't seem to get it thru my mind the size. I think it will be like my old 116 300 ultra barrel but not sure. Do you have a pic with the 24?

Ok i might have went a touch big for hunting rifle but I think it will be manageable. The magnum is .100 smaller od

So what caliber are you using that you require a 26" barrel for a hunting rifle?

My 26" X-Caliber Savage prefit in 6.5 CM is 1.0 inch at the muzzle, so not much taper at all. Shoots fantastic!

I've got a 26" McGowen with a Shilen 5.5 contour on my 6.5-06, which is a magnum contour.

I've got a Xcaliber barrel that closely matches the contour of OEM barrel but only 24". Shoots lights out when I do my part. LOL

Great ,I hope mine acts the same. I have a 300 wm and a 280ai barrel on the way from them.

If you have a borescope camera, take the time to check them over carefully. My new X-Caliper was some of the best machine work I've ever seen! A real beauty inside and out.
