[QUOTE="wildwilderness, post: 1964097, member: 33617"] I’ve been considering a build off the Manners Compact stock and a Remington SA 700/7 I also am considering buying my first suppressor to go on it. The rifle will be used for target practice and big game hunting out to 600yds. And as an adjustable one for my family and friends to shoot I’m thinking a 16.5-18” barrel with a 5-7” suppressor on it. The obvious answer is a 308 win... but should I look at other options? I have a Model seven In a 300 SAUM, is that too much powder for a short barrel? Too hot for a suppressor? How about the 30-284? Get a little more push than the 308 but would need more brass work. Would I even notice the difference? I also have a 7mm-08 and a 7 SAUM and like both those cartridges, but would loose some velocity over the 30 cal? or should I go bigger 338 Fed? 338 RCM? Is it worth getting a 338 cal can? thoughts?
