Would like some advice guys, just bought a sako 75 in .308 22" and a bit long i think ?
Gone for an A tech cmm4 lightweight muzzle can after reading good reports on the site,
when when i put against the rifle looks like its going to be a "very" long beast!
Going to get it threaded this weekend and can't decide whether to chop it of at 20" while he is on with it or leave the length alone ?
Do you think the drop in velocity with the chop is worth it for better handling and handiness ?
I chopped my 75 varmint .243 to 20" and got round the velocity drop by going down in bullet weight seems to work fine, and accuracy from the short barrel is just as good as the long one.
But as .308s have a bit of a loopy trajectory to start with, would it be a good thing loosing fps over handling as i want to use the heavier bullets which will be going slow to start with ?
