    In that sort of country, I'd go for 28 inches and bare.
    What power is the PM II ?

    With my experience of using rifles with tubes at 26"and longer you could not give me one. While i agree if carefully loaded you can get close to 3000 fps with 150/155s in fullbore rifles you don't need this for a 500 meter target/reindeer when a 24 inch tube will give you 2850+ fps.

    I just ordered a 26" because the 28" was sold out. The money saved from ordering that longer tube will pay for the barrel fluting. I wont get it blued I will cerocoat it or paint it.

    The S&B is 4-16x42 with illum.

    Perfect power range match for a 308 in open country as pictured.
