[QUOTE="7.62 Gunner, post: 2809511, member: 121641"] 16" for sure The 308 is really efficient in short barrels, the absolute max velocity you'd lose going from 24 to 16" is 200fps. Run those numbers and you'll see that at 500 yards your 165 sst is still over 1950 fps with 1400 ftlbs.. I live and hunt the Intermountain west and have taken elk close to 1000 yards, my longest barrel is 19". It's not just the vegetation that you have to consider when hunting with a 9" can on your barrel, it's really more the rifles balance and maneuverability in a variety of terrain and conditions.
