Thread: What to do? Suppressing 22 Hornet

If you get any over barrel DPT it adds about 4”. Maybe a good middle ground for the Savage would be to chop 4” before re crown and thread. You keep a 20” barrel and with suppressor in place you keep existing length.

Logic for my suggestion is that your post reads as if there is some attachment on your part to the status quo for the savage, either due to competence bred from familiarity and/or an ‘if not broken don’t fix’ approach. And let’s face it, regardless of collector value an accurate rifle that you have confidence in has inherent personal value.
All things being as expected the accuracy should remain other than needing new load development. The overbarrel DPT will probably add some weight up front but nothing you can’t live with.
