[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 194173, member: 8843"] The velocity loss going from 22" to 18" would be significant but would still have your shooting faster than a 7mm-08 especialy with the heavier bullets like 150gr ,that said if its accurate enough you will still have enough energy to cleanly take deer to 1000yds. Personaly I would not shorten the barrel . A good replacement stock would be a great upgrade , the Duramaxx from Bell&Carlson is a great buy for the money it will have a pretty big gap around that thin barrel though since its desgined for a varmint weight barrel but that has no bearing on the accuracy. As mentioned before the Sharp Shooters Supply trigger is good investment also. the biggest thing is to shoot the gun and get used to it , if you don't reload then buy several differant boxes of ammo and see what the gun like to eat.
