[QUOTE="Damage Inc., post: 2549367, member: 29754"] A 22” .300 WM, with a “good brake”…. is going to be so loud and have so much concussion, that birds are going to fall out of the sky when you touch that baby off. Even with plugs/muffs, it’s not going to be fun to shoot. Better answer is 20” and a suppressor. I had a Kimber Montana in .300 WSM that was cut/threaded at 17”, and shot it suppressed exclusively. It essentially delivered 24” .30/06 performance. I bet you’d get much better than that out of a 20” .300 WM + a can. The suppressor eats a lot of the recoil too. All up, with the can, the .300 WSM weighed under 8.5lbs. With 208s at 2750, it recoiled about like a .25-06. With 155s at 3000, it recoiled about like a .243. [/QUOTE]
