Hi guys, im looking at fitting my Sako A7 in .270 with a gun works spartan 13.5'' suppressor - wanting advice on how short to cut my barrel. Its currently 21.5'' and im aware .270 needs to have a longer barrel for complete powder burn.
Majority of my hunting is bush/ slips with the occasional long shot out to 350m.
Is 19'' going to be too short?
Cheers,
Hot barrels
Want to buy a maximus, lots shorter than spartan. I would go no shorter than 20" for 270 myself
Im selling one if you do? The 10 inch one
Thanks but i will stick with the 13.5'' one i think, its a little bit lighter and i reckon because of its slimness will go through the bush without hooking up as much.
Cheers though
It won't ☹️Quote:

I'd cut it shorter. Much shorter. Right back to the action. Throw .270 barrel and gunworks can in the closest bin.
Then screw a .284 barrel in its place complete with pretty much any other can other than the abortions sold by old mate Rev Rog
You will be much happier in life and receive much less scorn and piss taking.
You are welcome :)
Yes, do this, if like our Friend Proudkiwi here you feel like you need to compensate for other shortcomings in your life, and reduce the amount of pisstaking you allready receive, then you could try his advice, seems like it must work for him.Quote:
