They are super 14" barrels with a factory muzzle tamer installed and without sites. Drilled and taped for a scope of course. I don't recall them offering them in any other length.   KN

I believe they also made some in 12 inch lengths.   I have had a couple that were factory 12 as well as the 14 inch lengths.   I currently have a 12 inch Hunter barrel in 223.     Ed

From what I remember they were made in 12" with no sights.  14" with sights (front sight mounted behind the muzzle tamer).  The 45/70 comes in a 16" barrel with a muzzle tamer and sights, not sure if they call that a hunter barrel or not.  I have also seen reference to 14" hunter barrels without sights but I am not sure I have seen any of them.

Just sold my last one...........14" 7-30 Waters with muzzle brake no sights. Actual barrel length was like 12 3/4" if you didn't include the brake. Nobody at any rifle range liked them at all........they would clear the bench so to speak
