Thread: Nosler 150gr accubond load .308

Sarvo....that I CAN answer...any gunny worth his weight in goat turd will be able to shorten,recrown and thread barrel for suppressor...as to how short??? up to you to some extent,my dedicated bush rifle is shortened so can fits snug up to forestock...the other 2 are left longer.my .270 came from factory at 21" and if I had the funds it would be replaced with 27" barrel to gain speed . if you dialing up length dont matter at all. if you like most fellas and 300 yards is a long shot....well pick length that suits YOU and get it cut back to that.....its far easier to reshorten at about $65 a go than it is to rebarrel if you go too short and want to lengthen..... guys get all hung up on barrel being too long and rifle wont balance in hand......sling rifle across chest with left hand sitting on pistol grip or sling barrel forward under arm so left hand rests on forestock.......99% of the time your carrying being slung is ok and suck it up for the 1% you need it in hands ready for quick shot (you wont notice it then)...... sit rifle down on bench when you decide what suppressor you want and move it back and forward till YOU happy with the look.

I would like to shorten as to have the SUP back up a few mm from forestck
I will send it down to Gunworks
300m is a never shot for me - 20 - 70 be my lot :-)
