I wanted to see if any one could give some advice on cutting a 22-250 stainless savage axis barrel in a 1-12 twist. I am thinking I would have it cut to 18 inches maybe even 17inches and have it it threaded for a direct mount titanium suppressor about 7 inches long and around a pound in weight.

I also thought I could if need be get an after market barrel and have a faster twist maybe 1-8 or 1-9 and shoot 60 grain bullets.

I already have a Boyd's thumb hole stock and with the factory barrel and hand loaded 52 grain bergers fb hollow points using 36 gr of varget I run speeds of 3550.

I want to keep the length manageable as I use this gun as a coyote gun and am in and out of the truck doing stands and want to keep it reasonably quick to get into action while still taking a shot out to 600 yards now and again.

currently I can shoot sub inch groups at 200 yards using a 3.5-21 ers elite tactical from bushnell for optics.

thanks for the advice on length and twist.
