[QUOTE="Another Casual, post: 2283198, member: 89878"] With regards to weight, I'd work backwards and subtract out the scope, rings, action, stock etc to find out what your budget on weight will be for the barrel. If you plan on threading it, Preferred Barrels straight .750 contour should be under 2.25 lbs at 16". With regards to length, I have a 16.5" AR-10 in 6.5 creedmoor and wish I had gone longer. The gun is quite loud without a can. Adding the can adds weight and length but not much velocity. Food for thought. With the right powder you can probably get respectable speeds, but I'd also think about the diminishing returns here. If the 16" PRC ends up the speed of a 22" Creedmoor, which would you rather have?
