I'll probably never burn out the .308 barrel, but the 6.5 I'll probably go to a Marksman profile and extend it to 24" when it comes time to swap it out.

23.5" Factory Tikka 223 Varmint that shoots lights out
26" light varmint Bartlein 22BR
23.5" medium palma 6.5 creedmoor that isn't heavy enough for PRS, but ok for hunting. Have a heavy palma blank for the next barrel, will finish at 26" minimum.

26" Bartlein #9, it is heavy but works like a charm man!
Straight 1.25" and MTU
6BR, BR variant or Dasher + 25LBs+ a good break= spotting your own trace. It's unbelievable untill you tried it bro.
22" MTU Benchmark with an 8" can on my 22BR.
I had it a little longer at first, but it was too front heavy and imbalanced.

Exactly. My gun weighs 23lbs and i spot almost every one of my shots. Makes for difficult positional shooting but awesome in the prone and off of props.
Just giving a you a hard time, my build for next season will be a little chubby and a 6BR variant.

I was at 23lbs, but just recently reduced the weight. I didnt care for it.
Side by side with an 18lb rifle didnt seem like there was any noticeable difference in recoil from prone or barricades.

i went down in weight for my next barrel too. Ordered M24 instead of Heavy Varmint/MTU. Should be about 1lb lighter.
.260 Rem SAAMI, 28" 1:8" Lothar-Walther LW-50 Stainless, #5171 Savage Varmint contour, 11 Deg Crown. Still going since 2003 (-ish?)
Original (was 24: 1:8" factory .260 barrel) SH Ghost Dancer 2001 Savage 10FP .260 with this aftermarket barrel upgrade. Shooting this rifle, it is a pussycat. Guessing 12lb or so, all up. I'm no sprinter at 73.

I use a stock, factory rifle for varminting, I have a semi custom for big game and low round count midrange use. I also have a semi custom for F/TR, but I've only shot full-custom rifles in F-Open.
6 DASHER running a MTU contour. About to switch to a straight taper
M24
I like your style, truck axle barrel for a dasher
28" MTU 6BR and 6creed. Next barrel will be 28" 6BRA Heavy Varmint.
I’m guess you’ve got almost zero recoil with the 6BR
there’s still some but with an impact brake it’s not too bad at all. For free recoil the key to watching your impacts I’ve found is light recoiling round not loaded too hot, heavy rifle that has a balance point in front of the mag well, good brake, scope with a good eyebox.
I’m in the process for doing a 6dasher in a M24 contour, so I’m trying to gauge people’s recoil with something roughly around the same contour.
I’d recommend MTU. Little heavier and longer shank but that’s just my .02. You really can’t go too heavy for PRS. I know a lot of guys that run straight taper
True, I’m slowly working into heavier barrels and I got a smoken deal on the dasher so I can complain to much
what's the common length?
Currently running a 26" Heavy Palma. I just spun up a 26" M24. Only switching because a good deal came up for the barrel.
