Hi all,
got my hands on an almost new Sako 75 Hunter 111 in Calibre .308.
From the Sako website i think the twist rate is 11" and barrel length of 22 7/16"(57cm).
It is currently not screwcut for a moderator, and I was wondering if i should get it shortened (and re-crowned?) at the same time as getting it screw-cut for a moderator.
Can it be shortened by about 2 inches for example without loosing accuracy and without increasing recoil/muzzle flash/muzzle flip, or am i better leaving it as is? What costs should i expect?
Also, what thread-size is best to get done or does it not matter?
Many thanks for suggestions!
