I currently have 4 24" bolt rifles in 6.5cm, 7mm mag, 308, and 30-06, and looking to chop down one of them to run suppressed for elk hunting.
I will also state I'm not long range oriented. Personally I prioritize getting as close as possible on the stalk to eliminate as many variables from the actual shot as possible, but I feel comfortable shooting out to 400 yd if the situation necessitates it: for example an animal is getting spooky or terrain is in the way.
It seems from other discussion that a shorty suppressed 308 is most popular choice.
- In which situations would you prefer to chop down a rifle in the other calibers?
- is 16" too short for my application? Would you stay longer? (Suppressor will be 8")
I know this has been discussed from various angles and in other threads, but wanted to pose the question differently, with a specific requirement that this would be for Rocky mountain elk hunting.
