[QUOTE="captacademy, post: 558616, member: 7159"] huckjare, I was facing a similar issue, like you. I plan to shoot my 260 suppressed for tactical matches and did not want a long barrel that would unbalance the rifle, at least for me. Instead of the 28 or 26 inch barrel I opted for the middle of the road, a 24". I feel it will give me the best of both worlds. I just cut down my 308 barrel from 26" to 22" for my suppressor and lost about 60fps. The accuracy stayed the same and the rifle seems more balanced for me. I shoot this rifle out to 700 yards often. I am happy with the 22" on the 308, but want to keep the 24" barrel on the 260. Just my 2 cents [/QUOTE]
