I sure love my Ruger GSR.
It's not the size of the barrel, it's how you use it. |

Yes, you get more velocity from a longer barrel, but how much is lost in short barrels is way over estimated. I've shot the same 210VLD/retumbo load in 26,24, and 22" barrels, from 26 to 22 I lost on average less than 40fps. It is currently pushing a 210VLD @ 2950 and that is 4gns under max load, it will do 3000 but I haven't fine tuned the load, I can get 190s to just under 3300 also. ETA: the proof http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/ae52/762RUM/726E1BB3-8BAC-45CD-BF34-CFDD2B4401CE-349-0000002F5ED101A4_zpsa3479e52.jpg That was the first 10rds out of the barrel, a batch of 300 RUM 190VLD proof loads That's a nice rifle. Too bad us left-handed folks don't have more options for actions and stocks. I'm wanting to trim this down to 16.5" at some point:

Yes. They are accurate, the trigger is good, and they are well built and engineered. Mine cost me $4200 with only a 22" .308 barrel and kit and that was a pretty good deal for an anodized FDE with monopod model. It's a toss up which I like more... My AI AW or my DTA. They are both pretty awesome. |

There are plenty of places to hunt around here where the longest shot you could take is about 100 yards. Who wants to lug around a rifle with a 30" barrel when you're only shooting out to 100? Some guys I know are using .460 S&W magnum revolvers in these areas.

I thought that was Palma shooters? Either way, a side note to all this is tighter twist rates, like 1:8 for 308,300, etc. In short it has the affect of spinning a top faster, the more RPM imparted on it the longer it will retain it, it really helps in the transonic zone. this one I haven't tested myself, but I've read about and seen some very intersting rifles setup this way, using short barrels to.

.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. F-class shooters use 30" barrels.

I got a Remington 600 that has a factory short barrel 18.5" which feels really short
it is .243, kills deer great, and cost me $75
I have a lever with a 12" barrel which is fun |

My Remington 600 in .308, cut to 16" and suppressed, with a "scout" mounted scope and YHM suppressor. It's almost the exact same length and weight as a 24" M700 PSS, but much quieter.

Mine is plenty quiet and it tightens up my groups. Be sure to put a little grease on the threads and tighten it down medium hard before you shoot. Check the tightness often the first few times you shoot it and there after if you get it hot -cold - and hot again. |
