Thanks Ripp and Daryl, I stay calmer. I like my gun is able to make the most of the cartridge firing. It is an old rifle still want to know that the 300 Winchester Magnum will be able to deliver its full potential with the barrel that has the rifle. Elsewhere I read that theirs are minimum 26 inch guns and desirable 28 or 30 inches. I think hunting is not necessary as long guns perhaps to throw long distances (1000 yards) if you need it but not to hunt.

regards,

Ovny.
