Can't believe I read this whole thread. I've had a 24" 7mm RM for the last 40 years shoots great, its my hot rod, would never do anything to it to lower its performance envelope... Cut my barrel length down ? Never happen,not while own it. Can't carry the weight of the extra 4" of barrel? Don't bother to start up the ridge with anything, maybe you can find a lighter weight keyboard to use also. Yeah, all BS aside HBB its your gun . But think on this, if a 22" 7mm RM is such a great idea why don't they make them that way from the factory? Can't really remember anybody sending them out to the public with a 22" tube, why is that do you suppose? Like I said it's your gun. Magnum_Man
