Hi all, looking to see if anyones got pictures of an 18” or 20” heavier contour barrelled action in an MDT XRS chassis, I don’t care what kind, just wanting to get a view on how it looks. Wanting to buy a prefit for my ruger in an XRS, and undecided if I want to go 18” or 20”. For 22-250, will be going with an 8 twist. Thanks!

Awesome. Thanks! Any pictures without the suppressor by chance?
Here is an MDT XRS SA with a 20" Bergara B14R heavy barrel and action.
I should add since it's such a short chamber it will look more like a typical 18 or 19 inch would I believe.

Man I’m sorry. My mother passed away last week and it slipped my mind. I’ll grab ya some this week for sure.
Sweet! Thank you
What’s the diameter of barrel right before the brake?
it's an m24 contour so right around .9"
Is that area 419 brake a 1.1” collar and 1” brake body?
I may not have been clear enough. I mean that my 20" 22lr will appear shorter than a 22-250 because the 22LR has such a short chamber. My apology for not being clear.

Incorrect.
The method of measurement is exactly the same. Measure from the bolt face with the bolt closed to the tip of the barrel.
The easiest method is to run a cleaning rod into the barrel from the tip to the bolt face. A 22" barrel will measure 22".
A 22" 300 Remington Ultra Mag will still measure 22".
The reason the chamber is not measured is because it doesn't affect the length of the barrel in any way.
If I took a 26" 6.5 manbun and ran a 6.5-06 reamer into it, the barrel would remain at 26".
