[QUOTE="Scottytuned, post: 1298240, member: 87569"] I have a 338 Lapua in Savage LRH, and happy to say I cut it down to 20". Many people ask why, say it's a dumb idea, etc. Frankly, I love it. I think overall I'm sacrificing about 150-200 fps, but my experience is that it was worth it. I now have a more handy rifle (there is still a 10" suppressor on the end mind you), that I am more willing to trek around and use. So my perspective is I have a better gun. After all, a rifle that is 150 fps less than a longer one is still better than one that sits in a safe because it is unwieldy. Accuracy was unchanged, and even with my "poor velocity" I still have a bullet going over 1500 fps, with over 1500 ft lbs of energy at 1000 yards. That's a win in my book, but YMMV. PM me if you have any questions and I'll do my best to answer. [/QUOTE]
