I don't follow modern guns at all, no idea of the quality, but considering both company's histories, it should be worth the money they want. That cartridge is old, glad you like it. The worst thing people do to themselves is try to improve guns by shortening barrels, either owners or makers think they are inventing the wheel. Designers of cartridges and guns come to agreements on how long a barrel MUST be to get the most out of the bullet once it leaves the muzzle. The powder has to be completely burned for one, the rifling must get the bullet spinning to max effect, all for distance and accuracy. In a semi auto, even for recoil actuated, there needs to be enough pressure long enough to cycle the action. Shortening barrels throws all this science out the window. Whoever takes x inches or centimeters off the barrel usually creates a piece of junk they blame on someone else. My hunch is if this rifle in this caliber is 26 inches, it is because that is what a 22-250 needs to get what you want out of it. Do a couple searches on the net regarding the gun, lots of sites with owner threads on questions like this. Good luck.
