Suppressors need to be larger on the 270 than the 308? That changes things yet again! Can anybody confirm this? Thanks for the heads up username.

A standard suppressor is fine on a 270, it is based on the '06 case after all. Gunworks can put a swivel stud on the bottom of the suppressor which helps with balance, the other thing I did with the 223 was to put a stud in the end of the fore end. Also leave the factory stud for a bipod if desired and balance is not too bad.

Will be handloaders for me which is still stuck at just 75m, but will give you a good idea of recoil reduction, etc.

My bad thought the 270 and 30-06 needed a bigger one.

Its good to get advice but a lot of this is personal preference and you will only know if you try.
