783 what?

[Divernhunter]

I have a 18" 308win and a 20" 30-06 and that is as short as I want to go.
Good luck and be sure it is long enough to be legal.
What is your rifle chambered in?

You will have more muzzle blast and recoil, lower velocity, and more muzzle flash. I don't see any advantage to it unless you need to pack it it in a confined space or carry it in a scabbard.

The rifle is chambered in 308. I got the idea from the Remington 700. I saw one at riflegear with a 16inch threaded barrel. But that was 700 bucks and I just don’t want to spend the cash. I thought abt 18inch as well. I have a Witt machine clamp on muzzle brake. I thought about doing it myself because I have that clamp on muzzle brake but I’m just not comfortable taking my table saw to it lol.

I use it to go hiking with a rifle(aka blm pig hunting) and wanted something more compact. The rifle is actually pretty good for the price I was happy with the performance as a hunting rifle.
