    I'll let you know the details onces i've had it in the field for a bit to see if it actually lasts. Its only a polymer and I don't expect it to take the knocks well. I've since found an epoxy that would give the same effect.

    Sure have, I chopped my mod 7 708 to 15 inch with a Dpt. It's a little honey

    Here it is (bottom) compared to a T3 chopped to 17 inch.

    Yeah its great, balanced really nicely and comes up well. I'm running 140 NBT'S at 2720 now (had been running 120's but the heavier pill carries more energy out a bit further)

    I'd be more than happy to shoot a deer at 400 yards with it.

    It's nice and short overall and easy pushing thru the scrub.

    308 is even less effected by the shorter barrel.

    Oh and I find its best not to involve the wife in these things.

    Running 165 Nosler BTs doing 2650 at the mo, kill well. All gravy out to 550 yards.
    Also have load data for 130 barnes TSX and TTSX (quite warm), 125 Accubonds and also 168 VLDs. I just seat everything to mag length and don't know where the lands are (never checked). All with 2206H and 16" barrel, Lap brass and fed primers

    I'd say stick with the 165gr nbt's and flag the Barnes
