Goddamn @Frank Green ~ You make a hell of a barrel. Just put 80 rounds through my 20" Bartlein/WinTac 1:10 .308 Factory AI barrel, and now can't wait to see what my 24" setup can do. These barrels are notably beefier than the Lothar-Walther, and weigh a full pound heavier. Full targets shown, no cherry picking. You can tell which rounds were shot early, as the barrel slowly settled in. I did take the time to bake molybdenum disulfide into the barrel by doing 1/2 the M24 SWS barrel break-in process by doing nothing but wet-patching with moly. It seems to respond well to it. And finally, I have a barrel that likes Hornady TAP ELD Precision 168gr. You've made me a believer, Frank. Keep snagging those beautiful batches of Crucible Steel! (To ease folk's minds, no: I did not end up using the boresnake at any point. Opted not to.)

20" 308s are retarded... run a 16 or a 24 if you "need" the velocity you're going subsonic before 1k regardless. You are talking minimal velocity loss between a 16 and a 20. Run the numbers with a 175... 16" 308s ftw.

Not if the length of your rail won't accommodate something as short as 16.5". I would go 18", but that would require me to get one spun up, and when 20" pre-fits are readily available, it's the easy choice.
^ That's like seeing a really hot chick from across the room, but after eyeballing for a moment you notice her dick poking through her dress.
Hard pass good Sir, but if it floats your boat I'll pretend I didn't see you mount it...

Currently in ISO of a new scope. This will have to do for now. At least it's still better then a MK5.
Ah yes..Coyote brown TT on ES AX. I’m sure you’re familiar with that color combo? Come on, let’s see it.. It’ll hurt, but you can always reminisce..
And it never gets old seeing this AI picture. You must miss it.. lol.. And there’s a few here with ES/ TT combo’s too.I may know a thing or two about the coyote TT x ES comboView attachment 8686266
Miss it is an understatement. I should’ve kept it how it was before the vision chassis and had basically the twin to yours. Now that I’ve recently become a dad, the likely hood of seeing one in my home is slim. At least in the next several years lol
