need info regarding barrell length
hey everybody,,, nice to be here with you...just reading some 5 yr old threads online regarding gun stuff made me feel I was back at the rifle club I used to belong to,,,good feeling...so I just signed up a few minutes ago...
I am looking hard at some bolt guns thinking I want one... One used 40XBR I found in .308 with tactical stock really appeals to me but then I found out it has a 16" barrel with a 1 in 9 twist!!!! why on earth would anyone want to do that to a long range weapon???
In reading the older threads I think to reach 1,000 yds it needs to be at least 20" ....is this correct???
