My local shop has a SA Socom 16 that I like the look of. However a 16" barrel for .308 seems rather short.
This rifle will be used for HD (I don't have neighbors to worry about), range work, and brush gun. Basically an all around fun, compact, maneuverable .308. Ranges not exceeding much more than 150 to 200 meters. Red dot or irons.
Anyone with experience with this rifle or other .308's w/ 16" barrels that could tell me how .308 performs as a carbine? Velocity loss, accuracy, muzzle blast, etc.
Thanks
