Chop to what length?

[30338]

Daughter shot her bull at 400 yards with an 18" 06 shooting 155 scenar. It was very effective. I chop about everything to 18.

I chopped my 30-06 to 16” last year. Also had 2 6.5 CM’s and a 7mm-08 chopped to 16”. I’ve got a 308, 6.5 CM and a 300 WM with 18” barrels. I have no plans on shooting past 400 yards with any of them.

To echo most others....18 is a good compromise for most standard centerfire calibers. BUT I just had a cva scout 350L cut to 16.5 and it is sweet! re The Scout with Yhm R9 is shorter than an 18 inch bolt gun sans suppressor!
