[QUOTE="JuddL, post: 2298719, member: 110787"] My 2 cents that are somewhat unsolicited. Everytime I’ve bought or built a rifle a certain way to save money I’ve almost always went back and done what I wanted later. In the long run I think you’re better off to buy the 16” barrel now and be done with it. You will never know if you like it if you don’t do it and you clearly want too. Is a 20” fine? Absolutely. Now saying all of that….I had a 6.5saum 16” proof barrel…I really liked that rig w/ 123 Scenars sitting on top of MR4000, speed was 3040FPS. I’m sort of answering your other question is why I’m telling you this…yes, when going to that short of a barrel I do like to go to a slightly faster burn. A lot of guys don’t and have no problems. H1000 is the standard with the 6.5saum and I’ve never tried it in mine. Next thing…I got tired of hearing a buddy chirp in my ear about wanting the rifle so he now owns it. I’m going to build another and it’ll be a 20-22” but not because I didn’t like the short one…but because I want to try and shoot the 156’s that everyone is going crazy over. Good luck with whatever you do and I hope this rambling helped you somehow. [/QUOTE]
