[QUOTE="River Man, post: 165029, member: 9084"] Thanks for having me, I am glad to be on this forum. There is a wealth of information in this forum. The 338 is my next project. It is probably 2 to 3 years down the road. I am gaining experience with the 300 Rum. If I had known about long range hunting and had researched my caliber selection here on long range hunting, I probably would have started with a big 338. Oh well I am only a few hundred yards shy of a 300 SMKs in a 338 LM with the 240 SMKs in my 300 RUM. There is another reason that I am cutting the barrel. I have on order an Advanced Armament Corporation 300-SD suppressor (silencer.) Remember this is also a tactical rifle. The suppressor is about 10 inches long. The suppressor is a fast attach model. I am going to have the muzzle threaded and a fast attach flash hider installed which will add 1 9/16 inch to the length of the barrel so the suppressor will add an effective 8 1/2 inches to the overall length of the barrel. If I don't cut the barrel, the barrel plus the suppressor will be 45 inches. A bit long. Now some of you are asking why I am getting a suppresor. I have a few reasons. [LIST=1] [*]Because I can. [*]Suppressors also act a muzzle brakes, albeit an expensive muzzle brake. [*]By nature, I am a quiet kind of guy. [*]I like to experiment with technology. [*]I don't want to damage any Elks or Deers hearing! No Not Really, I'll take it off for hunting. [*]And the most important reason, Suppressors are really cool! You can shoot a 300 RUM without hearing protection.[/LIST]I hope Shawn Carlock and Kirby Allen respond to my thread. I would like their input on optimum barrel length. Thanks, Dennis [/QUOTE]
