    Another option is you could shorten the RM? It will then do your close quarter stuff more easily whilst still having ample going for it in the open country. I am loving my RM in this form at the moment. So nice to carry, shoot and use.

    But yea something like a 6.5/260 would be mint. Drop it back to 18" and keep a suppressor on it. So much nicer to use but still got plenty of legs for the range of shots you want to make.
