Agree. At least a 20". Mine has an 18" bbl, and it is extraordinarily accurate, but although I haven't chrono'd any loads out of it, I suspect that they are down from what I get with the same loads out of a 26" bbl R700. 18" bbl is loud, too.MeMelYup wrote:An 18 inch barrel will get you 3 possibly 500 yards no problem, if you want 6 and better you would be better off with 22 to 24 inches.PBratton wrote:.308MeMelYup wrote:What caliber and what range (300, 600,,,1000) are you contemplating?
Would like to try out to the limits of the round, but practically, 3-600 would be MY limits.
The guy I bought it from gave me the shooters log that he kept, and the furthest he had ever shot with it was 647 yards........at which distance it was printing 4.5" groups.
