[QUOTE="B Gordon, post: 2504083, member: 29719"] Something else you might consider. I have a 20" Remington LTR. When I shoot it side by side with a longer barreled 308 I notice a whole bunch more muzzle jump during recoil out of the shorter barrel. The extra jump makes it slower / harder to get back on target for a follow up shot. My presumption is that the extra barrel weight up front helps out during the recoil movement. On a similar note I had an AR-15 in 6.5 Grendel caliber with a 24" barrel. The whole thing was a bit longer than I liked so I had the barrel cut back to 20". Much nicer to shoot with the shorter barrel and accuracy is better. Not sure if it is the shorter barrel or something the gunsmith did during the assembly process. Because the recoil of the 6.5 Grendel is half of what a 308 would be I have no issues with getting back on target quickly for follow up shots. [/QUOTE]
