Current concept is
Tikka 300wsm
Will either cut down the factory barrel to 16.5” and thread it 1/2x28
OR
Rebarrel to I’m thinking a Brux #1 cut at 16.5” and again threaded to 1/2x28
Keeping the factory barrel would save some money, but I’m already losing a lot of velocity with the chop and I’ve hear a decent bit about tikka barrels being slow. Further if I buy a new t3x I could maybe make a bill back selling the takeoff barrel, plus the cost to thread the stock barrel could just go into a nice cut rifles barrel.
Chopping so short because I’d like a super handy little rifle for stalking around with my 10” suppressor. I like my 24” barreled LR fun but man 34” is a lot to swing through the woods.
Any thoughts on what I or you would do in my situation?
