I picked up a Rem 700 5R in .308 unfired from a guy who had a change of plans in regards to the rifle.
I plan on using it as a deer/ hog hunting rifle & was wondering if anyone has cut down one of these barrels & what I could expect in regards to accuracy if I decided to. Most of my shots would be under 300-350 yards but I'd like to feel confident at 400-450
20 inches would be ideal, 22 would be ok. I could leave it at 24 but I'd like to be able to swing it around in a stand a little better.
Thoughts?
