[QUOTE="Guy M, post: 163785, member: 8622"] Three .308's in my gunsafe, 20", 24" and 30" barrels. The 30" barrel is on a specialized long-range match rifle. The 20" is on a pure hunting rifle and very handy afield. I'm most fond of my 24" barrel rifle. It has a real nice balance of length vs velocity. Can't really comment on the 175's and heavier because I seldom shoot them. I do go through a mess of 155's, 165's and 168's though. Dan Lilja wrote an interesting article some years ago on the optimal barrel length for a tactical .308 Win. It's still on his web site: [url=http://www.riflebarrels.com/articles/longrange_shooting/ideal_barrel_308_tactical_rifle.htm]Lilja Precision Rifle Barrels - Articles: The Ideal Barrel For A .308 Caliber Tactical Rifle[/url] He came up with a recommendation of 24" - 27" for that application, and allowed that some users might have very good reasons to select a different length tube for their .308 Win rifle.
