Good choice on the magnum sporter contour. I would go with 24" but that's just me. Just remember, the old 93 action has an operating pressure of 46,000 CUP so loads have to be kept mid range as maximum. I load for a DWM 93 Mauser and love it. Mine has been redone as a Mannlicher and it uses the original factory barrel cut to 20". I bought the rifle back in 1972 for the princely sum of $60 in a Clovis New Mexico gun shop. I don't know who the gunsmith was that sporterized the rifle but he did a wonderful job of reshaping the military stock into a Mannlicher configuration and fitting the nose cap. With the right load, it will shoot sub MOA at 100 yards. I still enjoy shooting the rifle all these years later.
