I have a 700 SPS in 308 (25” threaded barrel) and the suppressor adds 9.25” for a total barrel length of 34.25”. On the bench and open spaces, it’s fine but in a stand or getting out (in too) of the vehicle, it’s less than ideal. It is a tack driver with my handloads and do not want to cut the barrel down.
Looking for another bolt action 308 but with a 16” stainless barrel. I see Ruger has the Scout in 308 with a 16” ss threaded barrel so I’m looking for feedback (good, bad, and ugly).
Other rifle recommendations are welcome.
Note: It will be used mainly for hunting and a truck gun. Must be capiable of MOA at a minimum.
Since I’m just getting into the suppressor thing, need help (reloading) with powder choices, etc
My favorite powders for my 700 are Varget and RL15, but wondered with the shorter 16” barrel if I need to move to a faster powders for efficiency, etc ?
Just to be clear, I’m talking about supersonic loads.
Thanks in advance
