Re: What 6"s will get you
Im not sure if Id give up ease of carry/swing weight for 150 +/- FPS myself.
I like the 24" lenghts as I do walk/hike 2-6 miles when out hunting.
Re: What 6"s will get you
Yes, I was expecting a bit more. But, it does make it very comfortable to shoot on the range. If I use for hunting I will switch back to the 24".
Re: What 6"s will get you
My hunting & shooting is @ 300 yds or less. I would be interested to see what would happen if 6" were "removed" from the 24" ?
Re: What 6"s will get you
I would think you would have to loose around 100-150fps. But, every barrle is different as I am finding out. I had a 22" 25-06 factory Savage that shot all loads around 50-75fps faster than the Savage 26" I put on. Accuracy is better in the 26" though.
Re: What 6"s will get you
I kinda thought it would work out like that, but there's no substitute for the actual shooting, as you did. Thanks
