[QUOTE="ModernRedneck, post: 2059792, member: 83985"] I “think" I’ve settled on the build. Though there are two things I’m still not sold on yet, as I’ve decided to make this a 300 yard max hunting rifle (most shots will be under 150 years) and just do another PRS build for a 1,000 yard toy. Action: Defiance Anti Barrel: Carbon Six 18” Carbon Barrel, 1:8" twist, threaded for 5/8”x24 (Contemplating 16.5”, plus my 7.5” suppressor would put me at an OAL of 24”) Stock: AG Composites, AG Adjustable Chalk Branch Carbon Fiber Stock Trigger: Trigger Tech Diamond Bottom Metal: Hawkins Magazine: MDT Suppressor: Energetic Armament VOX-S, with Dead Air KeyMount Muzzle Brake [B]Two things about barrel length I’m still hung up on:[/B] 1. The Carbon Six twist rate calculator says I should do 1:8.5 for the barrel and bullets I will be using. I’m don’t understand why folks keep saying 1:8 or 1:7.5. I’m sure you all have good reasons for the 1:8, I just understand why the twist rate calculator shows something different. [B]Help me understand please![/B] 2. [B]Contemplating a 16.5” barrel[/B]. Once I add my 7.5” suppressor, I would be at an OAL of 24”. This would be great for my normal hunting conditions. [/QUOTE]
