FedEx dropped off my rebarreld rifle yesterday. I asked Shawn at Diamond T Rifles to give me as big a circumference on the barrel as he could with it still fitting the for end. I also asked him to try and match the barrel to the action as close as possible with the bluing.

Re: BBS with 24" Shilen barrel
The balance point is about an inch in front of the receiver. I played with it some pulling it up to my shoulder and it seems to feel just a little less barrel heavy than a 92 with a 24" octagon barrel. I will know more when I get a chance to put the peep sight back on and get some off hand practice.

I have 2 '92's with a 24" octagon barrel, the Winchester is a little heavier than the Marlin.
