[QUOTE="liltank, post: 702697, member: 13275"] .308 is good caliber for what you want to do. So I would suggest a 1:12 twist barrel, using 168 Berger Hybrids. The ballistic coefficient of the 168 is .519. That is the second best BC. The first is the 178 Hornady BTHP, but I like running the high BC lower weight bullet. As far as barrel length, I wouldn't go any longer than 24" especially if you are wanting to put a suppressor on it. 24" is the length of most sniper rifles in the military in .308. Can't go wrong the Vortex Viper 6.5-20x44. Great scope, loved mine. Had to sell it and my .308 for bills. Better build next time. Still have a .308, just not as nice as the one I built. Tank [/QUOTE]
