    Get the short one then, the faster twist is more versatile anyway.

    This has been an interesting thread and there seems to be no wrong answer here. When Gundoc suggests 1.12 and Tikka is binging steel with a short barrel 1.11 at 750 plus the 1.12 seems to make sense. I have zero interest in subsonic . I like the 150 to 180 gr projectiles, good velocity and energy that get the best from the 308.
