[QUOTE="Aoudad shooter1975, post: 2087710, member: 102560"] I backpack a lot--for packing a short barreled rifle is the only way to go. the first one on the list a long barrel on this thread but balances perfect 22 inch 7mm SAUM. Ti action, Manners EH1 Next is a 20 inch 243 win. On a EH1 20 in carbon barrel, orgin action. I have a ruger 77 Hawkeye with a 19 in barrel in a 338 RCM, I also have a tikka T3 18 in barreled 338 RCM. I also have 22 creedmoor one on a bighorn origin action, 17 inch SS bartline barrel, and one 22 creed in parts--not put together it will have a 20 inch barrel--works nice with suppressors. Do not shy away from the short barrel..20 in barrel is probably the best compromise--if you go PRC or SAUM--Tikka is a good option--trigger is good, and get it in a 7mm mag/300 mag..it will feed, you will have enough room to work and tikka has a lot of good after market parts. I have also found go with as fast a twist as you can when going short. Seem to do better especially under 20 inches...good luck [/QUOTE]
