    16 - 18” with a suppressor will be fine. That makes a great handy little rifle that doesn’t ruin your ears. If your into reloading then absolutely do it, if not well it’s not the end of the world. The rifle will still be nicer to carry and shoot things dead.

    Awesome thanks mate! At the end of the day it depends on what you use it for mostly. If your shots are generellay under 250 - 300m then 16” suppressed is fine. If you are a pure bush hobbit then 16” and suppressed is a no brainer. But if you do a bit of shooting at further distances then you will want to retain some length for velocity with heavier projectiles. 18 - 20” is a good compromise between short and handy with enough length to retain some more velocity and then you can always go shorter again later if you want. This obviously being directed at the 308, 7mm08, 260 type calibres.
