[QUOTE="08H3, post: 3861719, member: 30568"] I’m all for the chop personally. As long as you get the smith who threads it to put a good crown on it you won’t loose the accuracy of the gun. I recently bought a new production Remington 700 308 adl varmint to modify myself. It started out a 26” heavy with cheesy plastic stock. Pictured here with a Bushnell 6-18x50 [ATTACH type="full"]304627[/ATTACH] Well I cut it to 20” put it in a HS Precision M24 short stock that’s 29” instead of 31” long and put the scope back on. I didn’t like the balance so it came back apart and was cut to 18”. Originally I planned to go to 16.5” but decided to stop at 18”. I have since taken the big scope off and went to a Vortex 4-16x42that mounted a lot lower and fits the rifle and me perfectly. No accuracy issues here, still shoots fantastic and especially without the cheap ass stock. [ATTACH type="full"]304628[/ATTACH] With the vortex [ATTACH type="full"]304631[/ATTACH] Okay, now some real world use stuff 😏. I hunted with 308 almost exclusively until about 4-5 years ago so for the first 6-7 years I hunted I used one or another 308 rifles from 16”-22” barrel lengths.
