[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2333573, member: 101791"] Look at the velocity that you need with a bullet that you are planning to use. i would use a long action to start with, even if you don't need it presently. I note your are planning to change out barrels to use different cartridges. That's ok, or I feel that's Ok. The reason for the long action is it leaves your options open to use different cartridges with difference barrels. So once you have the basic set up your won't be up against the wall like you are presently. A muzzle brake will do just fine. Suppressor if you really need one. Barrel length helps in velocity and other things. It does create additional weight. At the same time so does a suppressor. [/QUOTE]
