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.

Yeah good thoughts. I cant cut the barrel on a sako carbonlight, that wouldn't go down well haha. Prefer to sell as original
