I have a Remington 700 in .338 which has a 25.5" barrel. The odd inch and a half is the result of a factory installed muzzle brake. I am quite short but this gun is one of the best balanced of all the guns in my safe.
The type of hunting I do involves stand watches so there is no need for me to try and haul it through the brush. Earlier today I was weighing some of my rifles and was surprised to find this gun weighs quite a bit more than I thought, given the way it handles. Just more proof that the better a rifle fits the less you will notice its weight.
