Thread: Barrel length considerations

But a light 16" barrelled 308 is going to knock you around, even with a silencer.
For a new shooter using factory ammo you should look at 243 or 7m08,
Followed by the question why do you feel the need to go down to 16".

Most guys who Bush hunt do so typically with 20-22"barrels as they use 1 rifle for a range of hunting.
I have been known to leave my silencer at home Bush hunting but I was carrying low power ammo.
