[QUOTE="JEVapa, post: 3892244, member: 41176"] What's its purpose? A cbt carbine role? - 16" 25m-500m all day. Or an intermediate range/recce rifle? - 16"or 18" 25m-7-800m all day. Make a carbine light...less rail length IMO - 12"-13.5" 1-8x/1-10x DVO Recce - longer rail for NVDs; bipod; 2.5-10x/4-12x DVO Either length, run a midlength gas. Either will run 175 SMK (GMM; 118LR; AB39) just fine. If you can get a 1-8 twist (there are a few out there), it's even better. BTW, we regularly engage steel-people out to 1000m-1200m with 18" 308 gas guns out west. But most are out to 500m-1000m. [/QUOTE]
