I agree with stagstalker, my Tikka 7mm rem mag has a 21inch barrel is 26inches including suppresser. I find it very well balanced even for offhand shots and recently tried the new Sako factory ammo with the 165gr tipped gameking, two shots virtually in the same hole at 100mtrs is good enough for this boy, and there was a good bugger at the range who let me fire those two shots through his crony which came out around the 2730fps mark.
Now i know a lot of people will scoff at those velocities but at 600mtrs/ 650yds it still has 1330ft-lbs of energy and its only a couple more clicks on the turret to make up for the slow speed.
cheers
