I'm changing out my Savage Short Action for a 7mm-08 barrel and Northlander sells Savage barrels (22") for 80.00 and E.R. Shaw (24") sell for 159.00 through Numrich. I wanted a 24" barrel, but I would use a 22". I just gave my grandson my Remington 700 7mm-08 (24" barrel) that I used for hunting when I go out West and this will be the same setup and I have taken shots at 312 yards and 416 yards for mule deer and have taken them down. With velocity in mind would their be much of a difference between the two lengths. I guess I could up and go with Pac-Nor for 230.00 and wait for 10-12 weeks. Everything being equal I would like to see 1" MOA at 100yds.

My question is which one would you pick for your hunting rifle.
