The 26" barrel is standard in the 26 Nosler, along with a 1-8" twist. If they offered anything else a bunch of people would scream about what idiots they are.

I'm doing a review of the rifle and Nosler ammo for AMERICAN RIFLEMAN, and a handloading piece for HANDLOADER. Dunno when either will come out, but am expecting to be "persuaded" to get each done ASAP.
