[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1212371, member: 30902"] Sound thinking. I made I think a real mistake on my .260 AR going with the 24" full bull barrel which is a full bull 1.25" to the gas block then steps don to 1" from there to the end of the muzzle. It's big, it's long, it's heavy and it shoots great but if you have to carry it very far or maneuver in tight spaces with it, you're in trouble. I have yet to decide if I'm going to just have it cut off back to 20" or just re-barrel to about 3/4" to the GB and maybe 9/16" to the muzzle end. I had one guy tell me he could just cut this one off and turn in down a bit and flute it and since it's a nice Krieger with very little mileage I'm giving that a lot of thought. Between the .308 and .260 though for me it was a no brainer going with the .260 since one of it's main intended purposes is for shooting coyotes and PD's. I really like the flat shooters with higher velocity than the .308 for coyotes because a lot of those shots will be at coyotes in a pack hauling the mail after the first shot. When you're shooting at running critters you want all the speed and the flattest shooting round you can have to make the on the run/in flight adjustments that are necessary to get hits. [/QUOTE]
