I was thinking 26" but now I'm thinking about 24"..
It's a 1:8 twist 280 barrel from Krieger, I got 1 in 8 to stabolize even those pesky long LR TTSX...
I shoot a 260 as well but for elk I like the 280AI with a bigger bullet.
Gonna put it on my Sako 85...
Not sure if I'll keep my Cooper Excalibur in 280AI, Dang thing shoots... But I do love my sako's...
