It is certainly easy to use that same line of thinking with firearms. -- Unknown

Then I traded it for something else. Should've kept it. Now I'm uber confused .... I thought pf M70's were the biggest load of crap made ever??

Would you leave the barrel at 26", or chop it to 22" or 24"? Sounds fantastic. One nice thing about the 700 is the action is long enuff for the H H w/o crowding the COAL. 26 or 24 is personal preference IMO. I wouldn't want 22. Congrats and Good Hunting. jwall- *** 3100 guy*** A Flat Trajectory is Never a Handicap Speed is Trajectory's Friend !!

Otherwise leave it if it balances, cut it if it's muzzle heavy, or leave it alone if it's close enough. If you love someone set them free If they come back no one else liked them Set them free again

It may be my most accurate rifle. I need to take it hunting.
