I built a .358 on a LA MK X and had a Douglas 23in barrel put on by IT&D. I handled like a normal 270, 30-06 built on that action. It shot a little over half inch groups w/TTSX 200gr bullets. I built it like that so I could cut some off if need be. We hunt from stands in Texas and it was not hard to get around... so I left it. A good length for brush hunting to me would be 21in and it is one of the more popular lengths on the board. powdr
