[QUOTE="PartsJr., post: 2989937, member: 87242"] As others have said, the only advantage of a 26” barrel would be added velocity. I’ve hunted MN woods for 40 years shooting a 22” barreled Win. M70 in .270. I’ve shot deer from 10 yards to 300 yards with it. A 22” or 24” barrel will work fine for you out west and you can use it in your home state as well. I’m partial to the .270 and I also have a .280ai but there have been lots of good cartridges mentioned. They will all kill a mule deer. Knowing the distance will be very important. Get a good scope and practice a lot to verify your drop. It will pay off when the opportunity presents itself. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
