[QUOTE="Master Carper, post: 2116986, member: 15527"] I took a gander at the MOAR reticle and it looked pretty nice to me too... I loose several builds a year from guys wanting "too short" of a barrel on some of these magnum calibers and I simply refuse to do it. It makes no sence to put a 24" or even a 26" barrel on a cartridge that burns 120+ grains of powder. Why short change yourself and lose so much velocity from a high intensity cartridge. I have built several 30-378 Weatherby rifles with 3-groove barrels 36" long. Now this is how you make a cartridge sing allow for full potential of the cartridge. Yes, 36" may be a little on the long side but, it also allows for setting the barrel back a couple of inches when it's accuracy starts to go south.... DAVID [/QUOTE]
