Dave-G Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 I had mine cut to 15" and the .22lr to 14" I hunt mostly on foot and prefer to carry my rifle muzzle down by the pistol grip. I'm 6 feet tall - and it dont knock on the grass. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conor Posted September 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 dose yours still shoot good dave g? did it affect trajectory? its very accurate thats whats putting me off geting it cut! shoots half inch at 100ds easy enough. it would help me alot if it was shorter. only one way to find out i guess.

Dave-G Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 I read some facts from this site when choosing that length: Varmint Al's field test stuff Check out the muzzle velocity Vs barrel length data about a third down the page - in particular the bit about 15" having the best FPS group - albeit at a lower MV than full length. yes 1" is very achievable at 100 yards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
