Not asked, but I'll chime in anyway: after lugging 24" barreled rifles around the mountains for several years, I'm now a fan of 22" barrels.

The difference in performance between a 22" barrel and 24" barrel on a 30-06 is meaningless in the field. The 24" barrel will only be less manageable in heavy cover and won't offer anything in field performance, even on long distance shots, over the 22" barrel.
