A #2 between 21" and 24" in either of those would be really nice. I prefer the "traditional" stripes regarding paint. Mine have been #2s and have balanced well and consistently put multiple loads to roughly the same impact, regardless of load and whether the barrel is clean, dirty, hot or cold. I shot my .270 yesterday and tried four different loads, four shots each, and am sure the composite of all 16 shots would have gone less than 2".
