Got a model 70 Winchester 308. Was 22”, got it shortened to 18” and suppressor fitted. Wish I’d never done it! Handling and balance all fucked up now. Still a good rifle, just not as good as...

If your looking at buying would seriously consider Bergara B14 Extreme hunter comes factory 18” fluted. Use mine from 10- 500 yards

I listened to that. A discussion on short barrels and supressors like it was new...we've been doing it in NZ for 20 years! Still they were correct in what they said and worth a listen.

Pros of 16" = handier and lighter. Cons of 16" = slightly less velocity and louder than a longer barrel. Pros of 20"= more velocity, not as loud. Cons of 20" = not as handy due to longer...

Vortex podcast did an episode on cutting down a tikka 308 and suppressing it. Heaps of positives, very few negatives. I think they cut it down to 16" with minimal POI or velocity change. Sent from...

If most of your hunting is in tight bush, then short (16in) is ideal. If a mix of bush & open stuff then 18in might be a good compromise

18" with a supressor is a nice all-rounder length. My .308, is my main hunting rifle for everything and at 19" it's great, not really losing much at all in terms of velocity. In my view 308 over...
