What barrel length would be the best on a 308 a.r. and still kill at a 1000 yards?

308 will burn gas that long? I was thinking 24inch. Any idea what kind of velocity you have at 1000 with a 168gr boat tail from a 26inch?
You want to do all this in a 308 Armilite rifle? I dont think you can get a 26" ar barrel with a mid length gas system. You could have it made but any sensable person would try to talk you out of it. It going to look ver silly with a carbine length handguard(7") and a 26" barrel. I would not go more than 20" my selfSo with a 26 inch barrel can you still run a mid length gas system? Or does it give you paracitic loss as far as velocity? I want to run a short hand guard. Like carbine length.
I see try searching google images to see some examples.Well I want it to look like a little Barrett 50. Probably stupid I know but the price of 50 cal and the glorious state I live in I can't have one. I like my ar 15 a lot but I want a bigger round that can reach out there.
Ok Steve I see what you mean, thats a rifle length handguard 12". I think the first thing you should do is start searching the net for a barrel maker that will give you what you want. Then either do as JE said and buy a rifle or build your own with parts from Mega machine.Similar to this but with 6 to 8 more inches of barrel and a nice fat brake.
