[QUOTE="jrock, post: 2029604, member: 78569"] I'm getting specific because most other forums opt for short barrels when the word 'suppressor' is mentioned. Short barrel and magnum don't seem to go together in my mind. I'd like to see if there is a more balanced opinion here. I've run some numbers on part weights and a CF barrel might be tough to get below 6.5 lbs. A steel barrel might be closer to 6 lbs but the contour may have to be flared at the muzzle or fluted (which adds cost). I left shootablity off the list to try and prevent rabbit trails. As I mentioned, is POI shift really an "issue" if one does not plan to remove it while hunting? Just seeing what other people think is a good balance without sacrificing terminal performance.
