(1). If I suppress a 28" carbon barrel... that will affect accuracy negatively?

(2). If so... is buying a shorter hunting barrel for the suppressor doable?... and if so, what the best length so as not to have the suppressor affect accuracy?


The suppressor I am getting below...

Where are you buying that suppressor from? Importing from the USA?

A 28" barrel with a suppressor is ridiculously long, theres no way you'd be wanting to hunt with that.
A shorter barrel will be less effected by a suppressor, but a suppressor doesn't tend to negatively effect accuracy.

Why are you wanting to buy a Tikka Super Varmint to then replace the barrel? The barrel is a big part of the additional cost over a T3 Lite.
If you are commited to doing a semi custom Tikka build then I'd 100% start with a T3 lite, there's no point paying extra for the varmint stock or a heavy barrel.
