[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1581080, member: 27307"] I have both the Manners folding stock and the ESS as pictured above. Neither of these would ever be mistaken for 'just a truck gun'. These are primary rifles for nothing but the best options for shooting a compact carry rifle accurately out to the yardages I stated above. When unfolded, they are rigid and when folded they are compact. The 7mm RSAUM is a superb cartridge especially when combined with the 166 Hammer Hunter because it will fit in the DBM magazines which can also be pre-loaded with different cartridge combinations if you want. Simply label for differentiation. Short barrels, like the heavy for caliber bullets, is the newest of the exciting 'developments' to explode on the internet. It's like it's a new discovery, something which has taken shooters by storm. Well, guess what? Both have been around for quite some time, just relegated to specialized uses and before we had access to the chatterbox internet. Check to see what the HRT shoots or the Secret Service or a couple of the other sub-branches of the FBI, CIA or DOD. Benchrest shooters have been shooting 20" barrels with the 6PPC since the Houston Warehouse story broke onto the scene. Even for the lowly public, we've been shooting the .308 Win. in 14.5" barrels (suppressed) on the AR10-type platforms for a couple of dozen years. We use the same .308 Win. in 17/18" barrels on bolt rifles to shoot out to 1,000 yards in PRS competitions before other cartridges made some headway. This is nothing new and both will fall by the wayside after everyone has had a chance to try them both again to realize that they are not the panacea we'd like them to be.:rolleyes::D [/QUOTE]
