The 6.5x68 needs a long barrel to burn all the powder and achieve the velocity it is supposed to get. 26"/650 mm.
Nothing to do with "looks".
And not being worried about barrel length? "Magnum" cartridges with too short barrels? Better just use a 6.5/06 or a 6.5x55.
Yep second that, the 7mm Rem Mag is a hell of a cartridge in a 26" barrel, put it in a 22" barrel might, as well shoot 270 Winchesters and save the money.
