I know I know another one of these. However I haven’t seen many when a suppressor comes into play. I just bought a 24” Christensen Modern Precision rifle. It was a special make as theybusually only do 22 and 26”. I plan on running a direct thread Omega can. Intended purpose is long range hunting for deer out to 450-500 yards as well as informal plinking on steel realistically out to 750-800 yards with seldom occasions out to 1000. However I’ll also have box and tree stand shots as close as 50 yards and would like to keep the rifle short enough to be able to maneuver in a box blind etc. I can’t help but feel like I should have gone with the 22” and still could trade or sell the rifle.
What do do you guys fee is the best barrel length for this cartridge given my purposes and the fact I’ll have roughly 6” added from the can and the extra weight on the end. My hope is the carbon barrel really makes the rifle feel shorter due to center of gravity being further back. The folding stock also makes it more manageable to carry. Just curious what some of you guys use and feel like is a good compromise. I’m more interested in first round hits at 450 yards than I am about “being able to make hits at 1000 after walking it in 4 shots”. I find I hunt way more than I plink. Thanks in advance.
