[QUOTE="ICANHITHIMMAN, post: 272470, member: 10414"] Just remember that your seal buddy is talking about hunting people and they are not as tough as amimals. I have seen men die from gunshot wounds that were not the serious beacuse they paniced, beacuse they thought they were going to die when they should have lived. Amimals have no frame of refrence for that I am not saying that 30 ft lbs is going to make or break your hunt but I would rather have it than not when we are talking about 1000yds. The standing record for the 308win in Iraq or Afghanistan is 1500+ yards by and ARMY sniper in Iraq he shot an insurgent in the chest and it was a 1 round kill. I dont think anyone here would trust the 308win at 1500yds to take an animal lets say the size of a dear. I would have at least a 26" barrel on a 260 If I was planing to use it at that range if we were talking 600 max then maybe 20" but I would go with a slimer profile before I went with a shorter barrel. I have also seen a trend in the military for the shorter barrels in Iraq but not Afganistan and that beacuse the avarage engagment distange in Iraq it less than 800 meters and in an urban fight in and out of vhicals you want shorter.
