AIAX Barrel Lengths

[Barn Side]

Is the 24’’ or 26’’ barrel a better choice?

Would the 26’’ barrel increase range & velocity much?

Is it worth the extra weight?

If you have to pick between 24" and 26" I say 24". The fps decrease will be minimal and a little more portable.

I have the 24 and it a good balance as far as carrying is concerned

If portability is an issue, go with 20". Otherwise there is nothing between them (24/26). You loose/gain 20-25fps per inch.

What caliber?

 

[Barn Side]

308.

A bloke I shoot with said go the 26’’ for the extra performance and if you don’t like it cut it down.

Anyone know the weight difference between the 24’’ and the 26’’?

Out of those options I would pick the 24" length barrel. Personally I prefer the 20" in 308, though part of that preference has to do with the fact that I run my rifles suppressed.

It’s illegal to have a silencer in my country so I won’t be able to run my rifle that way.

308?.. i would go 20-24", FPS is VERY small in 308

The performance difference is maybe 30fps with 24" to 26" in .308 20" will get you out to 1000yd with decent portability, 24" will do a better job out to 1000yd. If portability and weight is not a concern and you only fire off a bench or prone, then go ahead with the 26"

Is there any 22 inch choice?

Ask your wife or girl friend to see if there is a different between 20, 22, 24 and 26 in barrels. Which one she prefers. All I am saying is you could nit even use it's full potential.
