[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 1712999, member: 96226"] Given your use case and the fact that there's a suppressor involved, I've decided to pull back from my earlier position. I never count suppressors into the equation because you can't have them in my state but that's (the added blast from short barrels) really the only objection I'd have if someone handed me such a thing. Taking advantage of suppression is a huge deal. Couple that with heavy for caliber (180gr) bullets; even giving up 100-150fps from the shorter barrel, you're still getting a good bit more beef than a 7-08 and it will in fact do long range quite well, you just give up maybe 150-200 yards of supersonic range which I don't think you'll care about. A 7-08 is actually a heck of a long range rig in its own right. A darned sight more ballistically efficient than a .308 with similar bullet weights. [/QUOTE]
