Saw this on another site, and I think it's cool as hell. I wouldn't want one in .243, but .308 should work just fine. Must hide credit card.
If this lovely beast belongs to you: excellent rifle, I'm jealous.

That does look awesome. I've been contemplating taking the barrel on my SPS Tactical down to 16.

I just had my Savage Precision Carbine cut down. I wanted it to be a manageable length with my can. I had it cut to 14.5", and had the YHM QD brake pinned on to bring it back to 16.5" overall barrel length. I haven't shot it yet but I do like the way it handles.

I like 20" for .308. It's a nice compromise length: still fairly compact, but having about 200 fps more than 16". But 16" would be really nice for deer hunting with a suppressor.

I think 16" is too short for my needs. 18" would most likely get it done. I like 24" barrels for 1000+ yards.

I like a short gun for shooting out of vehicles or for ease of dismounting vehicles. All those shots are usually within range of a 5.56 round though. I am not knocking the short guns at all, they look awesome. Powder is expensive and I would prefer it burns within the confines of one of my barrels. |

I want to take gunsmithing classes pretty much just to learn how to make nice rifles like these.
I need to buy another 91/30 just to cut it down and put an enfield jungle carbine flash hider on it. |

I have a Savage. 223 I hacked the barrel down to 16.25 in a fit of bubba. I've been considering getting it cut to 14.5 with a brake but have been too cheap.

Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile It varies a lot based on the load and rifle, but it will normally fall between 100 and 200 fps of loss. Regardless of whether it's 100 or 200, it's still substantial, and for some people, it's not worth giving that up for 4" of barrel length. It really depends on how it's going to be used. I'd be fine with a 16" SCAR, but would prefer 20" in a bolt rifle. YMMV |

.308 and offshoots get all their velocity with 20-22 in. Maybe even less with some powders.
No point at all in having any more barrel than that. |

My father has a 30-06 with an 18 inch barrel built on a Mauser action.
He bought it for $20 during an oilfield strike in the 60`s. It is a sweet gun. I will try to dig up some pics. |

I've wanted to build a custom rifle on a 7.62 Enfield for years. My idea is a slightly reshaped triggerguard(would probably involve cutting a piece out and welding it back together), a 16" barrel and full length stock. Problem is, I can't find an already-Bubbaed rifle to start with and don't want to modify an original.

REM 700 sps tactical 20" .223 NIKON 6-18 and b&c m40 stock shoots great and my girls love it. My 12 yr old may use it on her whittail on Nov.
This is just the quick reloads I worked up for hunting and on a 20mph crosswind I know she can do better but not sure if I can

Optics work fine if you don't want a mile of barrel to get a longer sight radius. Obviously they use slower powders, but that kind of defeats the purpose. |

The OP stock runs about $800, not too bad, but out for me for a while. The bullpup is quite expensive. Starts at 3k . |
