[QUOTE="YZ-80, post: 1811473, member: 109229"] Seems to be a lot of love for the 7mm-08 in this short configuration. Where else to learn that other than on the LRH forum? Anyway, I’m currently getting my stuff together to get my suppressor stamp and I want a light rifle with a short barrel to go with it. Based on what I’m reading, is it reasonable to expect (as a general rule) that a handloader with decent skills can keep such a rifle sub-MOA at 300 yards? I’m currently researching my next purchase (production) and have been thinking about a 6.5 PRC, but I’ve already got a 6.5-284 for “longer” range duty. I’ve also got .243s, .25-06, .308, etc., in various configurations. I’m thinking a 7mm-08 might fill a nice little niche as my first suppressed rifle. I’m currently thinking about a Sako Finnlight (threaded) with the set trigger. Would that be a reasonable choice? They seem to have this odd thread pitch of 14/1 and I’m wondering what the implications of that are? [/QUOTE]
