I built a complete CMMG 1:7 twist 14.5 inch barrel, with Vltor Modstock to play around with and have general shits and giggles. I put an Aimpoint on it originally and it works really well. Now I'm kinda wanting to play with shooting medium distances(up to 500) and use it as more of a prairie dog/coyote gun. I'd like to put a nice scope on there and use it for this purpose but am wondering about the accuracy. Assuming I do my part can I expect to get enough accuracy out of this shorter barrel to hunt p-dogs and yote's? And since we all like to say get both around here, buying another dedicated upper plus a scope isnt an option right now. Scope is only thing in the budget. Thanks guys |

The shorter barrel will have no affect on accuracy. Only velocity. But if you plan on using iron sights, a longer barreled rifle will be more beneficial because you have a longer sight picture. But if you plan on scoping the rifle, it should be just as accurate as a 20". |
