Trying to decide if I should go 20 or 22 on my rifle when I have the barrel cut down. Ill be putting a APA Little Bastard Brake on it so I was just wondering if anyone had some pictures of their rifle at those lengths with a brake especially a 22. Just trying to see if I will like the look of the 22 or if it will still seem a bit long with the brake.

dieselgeek, what rifle did you start out with there? Is that the brake at its original diameter or did you have it turned down?

It was built by Accurate Ordnance. It's a brux barrel on a pierce action, in a Manners T4 w/ a mini-chassis.

These are some typical 3 Shots and 5 Shots Groups with this rifle. I don't reload so I use Federal Gold Match 168 GR BTHPs. So far it has treated me well.

What camo pattern is that on the rifle with the Hog?

Whit.....

It's a paint scheme I call "digital grass" I used 5 different shades of Duracoat to try to match my surroundings. I live in South Texas where the climate is warm so the pastures stay green for the most part.
