I got one of the Dick's Sporting Goods ADL Varmint specials on black friday in .243, and I'm thinking about getting the barrel chopped down to something under 20". Thoughts? What short barrel length would be ideal? I was thinking 18", but I don't really have any reason for picking that number. I am envisioning a handy, light(ish) weight deer/varmint gun for mostly sub-300yd shots, topped with something like a 2-7 scope.
What do y'all think about chopping the barrel? Good idea? Bad idea? Let me know your thoughts.
Thanks.
