Hey everyone, I got my first suppressor this year (Omega 36M) and I absolutely love the suppressed game. However, I am thinking about ways to make the OAL shorter for my rifle. The rifle is a 6.5 PRC with a 20” barrel so it is already pretty short. I have been debating on this for next year, whether to chop the barrel back to 16” or to get a OTB suppressor like the AB raptor to lower the length. The rifle is not unwieldy with the omega per se but being a smaller guy, it does stick up over my head a considerable amount when attached to my pack. This has made jaunts through the timber and deadfall when you need your hands a bit more difficult than when the rifle was shorter. I was debating on cutting the rifle to 16 and then getting a Scythe to where the barrel length basically washed out to what the length is now with the ASR brake. I am fairly new to the rifle hunting game given it was hard to draw tags in my home state, but now that I am in a state that general tags exist I have gotten much more into rifle hunting. The other consideration is I will be shooting copper ammunition because personally I’d rather keep lead out of the environment. Given that I’ll probably be shooting light for caliber bullets and trying to push them at a considerable speed. With all this poorly laid out information, what do some of you more experienced shooters think would be the best route to go here? Should I just suck up the OAL since it works and that is the cheapest option? Thanks for any thoughts!!
