[QUOTE="Gota6.5, post: 694382, member: 8953"] Hi everyone, I'm trying to work out the dimensions for a new barrel to go on my Tikka T3 laminated. I'm reasonably new to longer range, so am hoping to get some help with this. I will be hunting deer from the size of your antelope up to the size of mule deer, out to about 600yds. I hunt high in rough country all back backing, therefore weight is a bit of an issue. I'm a fit guy, but lugging a 13lb rifle doesn't appeal to me. My last rifle was a trued 700 with a #2 shilen 260 tube, and McMillan hunters edge stock and 3.5-10 leupold. It weighed 7lb all up and was a joy to carry, but hard to shoot accurately due to balance and the fairly decent (for me) recoil. Ultimately, my question is: what is a good length and contour barrel for my T3 to achieve a good compromise between portability and accuracy? What is a good weight for an accurate yet portable .308 that won't smash me round with recoil? Thanks heaps, Nick [/QUOTE]
