[QUOTE="sierracharlie338, post: 2385171, member: 64849"] First let me say I love my 308. I have had three iterations of this rifle and have found what I really like so it’s possibly my favorite gun to shoot. That being said, based off the comments you’ve made and the question you are asking, I would look at a different caliber. Your numbers with the 168s are a tad low IIRC but not by much. I think you are “peeing into the wind” so to speak, by looking to add 2-4 inches of barrel on a 308. Now if you were looking at silhouette shooting or F-class then by all means, slap a 30 inch heavy Palma on that bad boy and go to work. [B][I]“In MY opinion[/I][/B]” the 308 is a work horse that has a niche of sub 800 yards and comes in a short package (18-20 inch barrel). Keep the rifle you have and shoot the **** out of that barrel! Get the next rifle in a different flavor that checks your boxes in speed and accuracy. [/QUOTE]
