Thread: 14” 308 barrel

After using a 12” barreled 300 blackout for the last few years I’d be happy killing stuff with a 14” 308 with a lot more velocity than the blackout. I hate using my 21” Sako Finnlite it’s barrel is to long now in thick bush, it’s great for long range and open areas.

How much for the Finnlight?

Probably $1000, it is a tool that’s had a hard life, coming up to 3900 rounds, some long string on goats 20+ rounds in a minute or two, flipped of the quad and hill, sliding on scree, one trip I’ve crawled through that much dirt and mud the trigger wouldn’t work.
It still shoots straight got a hind at 80m and a roaring stag on dark at 504m last week along with 11 goats from 400m to 719m first round kills, so its still shoots good.
But have been thinking for a couple of years now that it would make a great 15” or 16” 284win after the 270 barrel is burnt out.
