If I have a red dotted 11.5 AR, for close and fast work, would it be stupid to have my bolt action have the same length barrel to match its ballistics ?
An idea has been pecking at me about this, yes velocity is king, why not leave it long as I have the short AR..
I like the idea of matching ballistics even though the bolt action would be meant for longer ranges (300 yards max) scoped and better accuracy is mainly the use for it, add a suppressor (pinned and welded for one tax stamp) and it's no longer than the factory setup , Ruger American Ranch 5.56 .
Stupid idea ?
