Brad and Jpro are suggesting barrels in the 22-23" length.
Is there logic here aside from weight? (Especially if the WM is chosen, I would believe 24" more appropriate).
The bore/case ratio for the .338 is not much different from a 30-06, so the same barrel lengths are appropriate, even though the .338WM has "Magnum" in the name. I want a 24" tube with a 7mmRM or 300WinMag, as they are more overbore than the .338WM. I've had two .338WM rifles, and both got cut to 22" to make them a bit more handy, as I hunt in blinds a fair bit.
