Yeah .308 vote here too, 16". Easy to get ammo. If you see a deer at 500 yards then it is more than capable of that. You can buy a 16" Tikka one already threaded off the shelf.

I use it for 130gr speers and it is very accurate. Never chronographed it though so can't comment on velocity.

Quite a few of the cullers run 12" to 14" barrels and they shoot a fair amount of animals so 16" be fine. Mine is 15" or so and have no trouble shooting deer with it. Even out at 300 plus yards seem...

I have an 18" barrel on my .243 and have shot about 70 deer in the last 5 months with it. 2/3s of them have been over 300 yards with 10 or so being over 500. Yet to lose one and many of them have...

I have a suppressed 12 gauge. It certainly brings the sound down. Similar to a suppressed centerfire rifle. Subsonics aren't impossible to get but to be honest the suppressor mustn't be able to...

Superformance and the .270 are an awesome combination. 19" barrel getting over 2900 with 140s and a 22" barrel getting about 3150 with the 130gr sst. 130gr sst are awesome, fairly soft, similar to...
