I don't think I ever said 26" was the perfect length for the 6.5 Creedmoor, but it sure didn't bother me. Also, 3100 fps with a 120 and 2850 with a 140 (both with fine accuracy) didn't offend me, either.
I'm not much into suggesting perfect barrel lengths, for two reasons: Over the years I've found other people have different ideas of "proper" balance (which generally but not always relates to their height), and I've yet to own a big game rifle with a barrel so short or so long that the buyllet bounced off game or exploded in mid-air.
