R RC20 New member Jan 22, 2016 #2 Currently its 9.25 for a Savage Model 10. It might have changed if its a lot older. 243 seems to be 1-9.25 or 1-10 Long range shooting the longer the better assuming its from a rest. 26 inch is pretty common for that. If you are hunting then the choice is how cumbersome your hunting allows.

T tobnpr New member Jan 24, 2016 #4 what barrel length is best for long range shooting, Click to expand... The longer the barrel, the greater the velocity that can be achieved (to a point). But there are other factors such as barrel harmonics that don't guarantee better results with a longer barrel. Barrel length is not related to "accuracy".
