Yep. I've heard it said that barrel length is the only free lunch you get. I remember years ago that a poster named Flinch (I believe my memory is correct) had an 06 built with a 27" barrel He was getting some impressive velocities with just standard 06 loads.
I guess I'm just a product of my rasin. Being form South GA, anything with a barrel over 22" is a...spear.
