Getting a LTR stock from member here for a 7/08 project. Question is on barrel length? Thinking of going with a 22" length in a varmint contour. Will this be sufficient length in this caliber?
Thanks
 
Re: 7/08 question?

I recently cut my 25" #7 contour down to a 20" 'slightly modified' medium palma countour. The balance and portability are significantly improved. I lost about 80fps with the same load, but managed to find another sweet spot with a little more powder.

Enjoy,
Bob

This one awaits a McMillan stock and has a 21" barrel. I'd do it again.
