[QUOTE="undeg01, post: 3892239, member: 26476"] You do not need to worry about a loss of accuracy with a shorter barrel 308. If built right, the only thing you will lose with a shorter barrel is some velocity. At the ranges you are talking about, the loss of velocity will be negligible. If you start pushing your range out to 800 yds, and especially 1000 yds, you will find that you will not have enough barrel to get the amount of burn you need to get the velocity for those ranges. I’ve got a DPMS Gen2 in 308 with a 16” barrel and a Remington 700 PSS 308 that I cut down to 16”. Using 168 gr FGMM ammo, I would put either of rifles up against any 18 - 26” rifle at 300 - 500 yds.
