[QUOTE="Mark37082, post: 3033683, member: 120066"] It sounds like you have the bases covered for LR and ELR already. If a new build will be purpose based and focuses on a lighter weight carry rifle, I would consider sacrificing a little top end speed and focus on ease of carry when suppressed. 20” or 22” would be a good length IMO. CF definitely shaves some weight compared to similar contoured steel barrels. The CF can tend to trap heat a bit more than all steel, but can be managed by limiting shot strings. It boils down to personal preference and purpose. I’ve been giving a shorter barreled 7 some thought lately. I’m leaning toward a 7SAUM with a 20” barrel. Spiral flute to save a little weight because I don’t have a rifle in this configuration. Keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
