[QUOTE="Jethro777, post: 1525131, member: 67152"] I'm an average sized guy who hikes to hunt, and I've been shooting a Rem M700 with 24 1/2" Barrel w/ Vias-type brake for about 10+ years. OEM Barrel was never croni'd as standard 26" before installation of the brake. I now get about 3150fps from standard Rem 180 gr. Swift Siroccos and a little slower velocities frm Barnes 180 gr. TTSX. What I gave up in [U]real[/U] Velocity (50-75 fps +/-) I make up for in carry-ability without that long pipe....It's killed everything I've pointed it at so far. I understand the argument that's made around full powder burn, but in the end I don't think I'm giving up that much in real world function for an inherently more carry-able weapon. If I was an LR/ELR Prone only guy I would leave it, but to carry it, I like it a little shorter for sure! [/QUOTE]
