have custom built in both 300 win mag and 35 whelen..both awesome.when i hunt where i might need to stretch it out a little i use the 300.when shots are max 300 yds and on tougher game on the menu i truly like carrying my shorter 22" barreled whelen.its all really just about what gives you confidence in different applications.just when in grizz country i like a larger diameter.
