I went with a 23" barrel. I was torn between wanting a little more velocity and making sure was a handy rifle. Could not decide and split the difference. I am okay with a little bit of nose heft to my rifles. Rifle is being put together today.

JOTA I am also from TX and live in Memphis. Bartlett certainly is close to the gun club. You would not likely get that proximity in a big TX city. I grew up in the middle of Houston. I would not necessarily trade Memphis back for Houston. Other parts of TX would be a no-brainer.

I bought a 23" Brux barreled action chambered in a 6.5CM from SAS a while back and I've been a fan of that length ever since. My rifle is a Rem mag contour dup in an ADL Edge stock w/ 1" pad. W/ Talley's and SWFA SS 3-9x42 it weighs 8.3 pounds. Very pleasant to shoot.

Son just chrono'd a few loads with the 22" barrel. 136 Scenars hit lands at 2.74" and were clocking 2760 fps with no pressure evident. 140 vlds hit the lands at 2.80 and were doing 2750 fps with no pressure. Both using IMR 4451. Accuracy was very promising.
