Hey there
Im new to the forum and have never really asked these kind of questions. I’m looking at buying a 300 win mag and I’m just wondering if it’s the kind of rifle that you can run a 20” barrel on? Or of this is something that needs to stay long to get the speeds needed to make it worth having a win mag?
Thanks

20" the muzzle flash will be like the olympic torch but horizontal

Welcome to the forum.
It's always a compromise but there are plenty out there using short barreled magnums to good effect.

Welcome to the forum
Get a 300wsm for this purpose. Its almost got the same performance as a WM but more efficient on powder and a bit less recoil. Lots of people run 300wsms with short barrels even down to 18”. You lose about 25fps per inch which isn’t too bad compared to smaller cals. A 20” 300wsm is still a hell of a lot more grunty than a 20” 308.
I dunno how much shooting you’ve done but 300 magnums are a pretty nasty starter gun.

Hi Prince, welcome to the forum! Are you related to Alanis by any chance? Wouldn't that be ironic! Tell us a bit about yourself on the intro page. A few scammers on here lately from your neck of the woods, so it's good to share a bit about yourself to put people's mind at ease.
