I have a suppressor on the way and I want to build my own poor man's version of the "Precision Carbine- Threaded." It will have a traditional-shaped stock and varmint contour threaded barrel in the 16-18" range.

I have a 24" 11VT currently in a busted tacticool stock (stock is getting replaced either way) with an SWFA SS 16x and EGW 20MOA base. I'm still figuring out the reloading thing, but I've been mostly pleased with the accuracy from this rifle.

On the other hand, I have an opportunity to get an Axis HB (heavy barrel) for a decent price, which I would have cut, recrowned, and threaded.

I have the Midway special Weaver Tac Grand Slam 3-10x40 mil/mil on the way for this project.

Help me decide! Should I chop down my existing 11VT for this project, or get a new gun altogether to be the host for this suppressor-oriented build and try to have it fulfill both roles (long range and suppressor'ed carbine)? Or maybe I should sell my 11VT and just buy an 11PC?
