Short and thick ?

[meles meles]

ooh, what stock it that ?

[DW58]

It's a KRG X-Ray - see here. They're sold here in the UK by March Scopes.

I've had it around six months and love it.

[meles meles]

Eeeek ! That's a tad expensive...

[ovenpaa]

March also have some nice accessories for the KRG chassis

I run a 20" 308 for years , more than adequate to 800m

I think you'd be fine with a 16" barrel in 308 for 300m

[meles meles]

Hmmm, a very heavy 16 inch barrel is sounding quite appealing...

Bergara, do you think, or Lothar Walther ?

[tackb]

All premium barrels are good (border had a wobble a while ago but I think they are ok now) I have had success with old border and pac nor select match , short barrels are stiffer and in my experience seem easier to find accuracy from , my 308 was an original factory heavy tube from Remington and I got lucky and it was a real shooter .

With a shorter barrel you won't need to go excessively heavy

[DOGGER2UK]

Use a 16" or 18" barrel with a 1 in 10 twist (or faster) threaded for a quality moderator and you will also have a good subsonic rifle.......I know these things excite you!!

[meles meles]

Indeed they do.

Does anybody have opinions, or better still, experience of the Lothar Walther polygonally rifled barrels?

[DW58]

I've looked at those with considerable interest Mr Brock - I' be inclined to give one a go. Coulped with a suitable moderator you could end up with a very accurate and quiet boomstick.
