16" or 20" barrel for all around shooting and occasional suppressor use.

Hi. Would you get 20" or 16" bolt gun if you had the option? And why? Thanks

I just got my 20" T1x cut to 16.5". The 20" barrel plus the suppressor felt too long to me. The barrel/action will be back to me tomorrow. Hopefully it shoots just as good as it did before.

I went 16" on both of my rimfires. Haven't shot the one but very happy with the cz

I have a T1x with the factory 16" barrel that I use suppressed 100% of the time.
With a 6" suppressor the rifle balances and handles excellently.

If suppressor use was not going to be common then I'd opt for the 20" as it would balance better than the stumpy unsurpassed barrel.

If you're using a suppressor, then get it shorter. I don't shoot suppressed for 22, so I'm planning on going to a 20-22" on my next rifle. I love my ACC chassis and you need at least a 20" to clear it.
