[QUOTE="Dentite, post: 2286751, member: 84845"] I have a 26" (happens to be a Browning X-bolt as well) and I use a 6" suppressor. I'll admit it's a bit of a flagpole in the field, bit it's manageable. I've killed 3 cow elk and a handful of elk with it suppressed. Direct thread and I leave it on the rifle the entire time I'm hunting. I don't carry it over my shoulder bit I carry it in a kifaru "gun bearer" attached to my pack. So the rifle sits a bit lower than over your shoulder and the muzzle and suppressor are out in front. So it's easier managing branches etc but it does get in your line of sight a bit. When I carry my 18" AR with 6" suppressor it's a lot more out of the way as you'd expect. If I could snap my fingers and make it a 23" barrel, I'd do it. But 26 is manageable if a bit less than ideal. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
