Optimal length for performance depends on the cartridge. 26″ is great for a 25-06 & 24″ works well. 22-23″ is ok for the 243, where a 20″ does pretty good for a 308, this is basic stuff. Most of the H&R 243’s have a 22″& a single shot with a 22″ barrel is as short as an 18″ bolt gun.

In 1967, when they first stared making the 788 243 Win, until they switched the twist rate in 1969, I believe Remington used the standard 1 in 10″ twist rate, that nearly every manufacturer producing 243 Win at the time used and most still use!

How big is the barrel on a Remington 788?

Barrel lengths were 22 or 24 inches for standard rifles and 18.5 inches for carbines (.243, 7nm-08 and .308 calibers only). Left hand models were offered in 6mm Rem. and .308 Win. In my experience the 788 proved to be a very accurate rifle, a sentiment voiced by most 788 owners. I own both a standard rifle in .222 Remington and a carbine in 7mm-08.

What should the barrel twist be on a Remington 243?

The 243 is not known for recoil so that would not be an issue. Barrel twist should be 1 in 9 or 1 in 10 for best all round performance and bullet selection. I agree with trying it first….I had a 788 carbine in .243 and it shot very well, you may get lucky!
