I have a couple of 308 rifles and they have 22 inch barrels. And they work just fine.

My old Interarms Mk X has 22in, long enough to shoot around corners lol..ain't changing it. DPT Can fitted, super accurate with jacketed. Nice 50m groups with 204gn Walker Cast HP at .313dia doing 930 fps average with ICI Nobel 78 Shotgun powder, 6.0gn, 185gn Cast FP, same load doing 1020fps even tighter group. Quieter than a. 22LR Sub. Doesn't like 151gn Cast .308 dia at any velocity. Can makes it a longish rifle overall but balance is good. I just like it too much to mess with..carry something else if I want short and light.
