I enjoy hunting backcountry. Mostly a lot of elevation climbing and fairly wide open. I usually run a .308 bolt action rifle with a 20" barrel, sporter stock and a Dead Air Nomad suppressor.
When hunting, I have the rifle mounted tightly to my backpack with a rifle carrier. With the suppressor, the setup sticks about 2" above my head, with the occasional snag on a low lying branch where I hunt. Not a big deal. But if I went with a folding stock setup, the rifle overall length would be 6-10" shorter.
All in all, for anyone who had a similar setup, then moved over to a folding stock setup, did you find the compactness worth it? Why or why not?
I'm not expecting anyone's response to be taken as gospel, but I'd like to get some real-world opinions from guys who have gone down a road I may be headed down in the future. Thanks for the time.
