I've been looking to get a PWS Mk216 after owning a Mk116. I'm looking to shoot out to 600 to 800 yards. I haven't seen too many reviews about it's accuracy and I was wondering if anyone had any experience. WOuld a 20 inch barrel have any significant advantages over a 16 inch barrel.
Thanks for your help.
 
I've owned my MK216 for a couple months now. Have a few hundred rounds through it. Just shot it out to 1000 yards this past weekend. I'm still a novice shooter, but could hit 18x24 steel @ 1000 yards consistently. I have a Bushnell ERS 3.5-21x50 mounted on it. I use 168 FGMM out to 500; the 175 works better past that distance. I may have to send back to PWS for FTEs on the last round in the mag, but otherwise I've been very happy with the purchase.

Also, got to put the magneto on for two 3-shot strings. Avg 2446 fps with 168 and 2394 with 175 FGMM FYI.
