[QUOTE="RckyMtnRutt, post: 2366502, member: 118211"] I bought a suppressor and realized my only threaded gun was my 24” 300wm. I thought it would be too long out in the woods so I bought a 20” ctr 6.5cm. Long story short both work really well. Took the 300wm out for elk in some nasty country and you just have to learn to maneuver the gun differently. It wasn’t on my shoulder as much as it usually was. But i have no problem carrying it in my hand. With the 20” ctr i lost some velocity but that was easily fixed by finding a faster powder. So i just made up the 100fps i lost when i found rl-26. All that being said i think 20-22” barrel will meet all your needs suppressed or not. The old craze was long barrels now it seems like all different back grounds are going shorter. Phil valeyo proves that shooting 24” barrels at competitions. Chris kyle also started using short barrel setups and we all know what he was capable of doing. But like everyone has said it is all “your” own personal preference. Go out shoot both and find which one suits you best. [/QUOTE]
