16-18 inch shorty rifles

- Start date
So I just ordered my first firearm, gotta say this thread totally sold me on what way to go with barrel length. Remington 700 16.5 in .308 dropped in an archangel stock. The site I ordered from sold it like this but the picture they had was with the 20 inch barrel. So I haven't even seen a picture of what the rig will look like. Super excited, should be here within a week (in Canada where they deliver guns to your door 
). I'll be sure to post some pictures when the mailman brings it.
Thanks everyone for showing off these wicked rigs. Didn't know I need a shorty till I saw these

Here's mine after a couple of days at the range. Real happy with it. Shooting FGMM 168gr at 100 yards. By the way my first time shooting prone.
Anyway, now that everything seems to have come together, I'll be taking it apart to install a Timney trigger. Thanks Remington!
Rem 700 AAC 16.5 bbl w/ 1 in 10
McMillan HTG stock
Leupold VX-3 3.5-10X40
BAD-DBM
This is 5 shots at 100yds
This is either my best 5 shot group, ever. Or a 4 shot group that I'm still happy with. I dropped the accurate mag and a round popped out(maybe it was 2).

how much performance are you loosing with the 16.5" barrel compared to a 20" barrel? What is the maximum range of these rifles? accuracy compared to the longer barrels?
Out of FGMM 175gr with a 16" AR10 & suppressor I get 2475. I have shot that out to 900m. After that I can get hits but it is just very inconsistent. Yes I've shot out farther and hit with it but again, I look for consistency over just a hit

308 proof research

That's nasty!! I approve, what's the weight?
Here's my contribution!
Here it is, my first shot into this type of shooting. I figured why not and go full custom.
So the rifle a Crescent Custom by the man Tim Moon.

Literally had never put something like this together, and with the help of Moon came up with something like what you guys see. Sorry for the crappy IPhone pics but just what I had.
Just got some BlackHills Matchgrade Red box 168 grain, but will do some load development. I will say it turned out to be the perfect rifle for me. Now I just need to shoot the thing and see what it does. I think I did a decent job. What do you guys think??????

I get 2550fps with 175's from a 16", and my 155 Palma SMK's are 2775. The 155's really are the way to go with the shorter barrels, you can at least get enough usable velocity to still be able to stretch it's legs.

H4895 and winny brass. seated a bit long, but can still get 'em in a ai mag. They are quite warm loads though, ask anyone that's been around it when I was shooting, they will verify that it had more than a little pop to it.

Ive looking at this one also ,how does it shoot?
Here's my FN PBR with an 18" barrel.
16-18 inch shorty rifles
It's an awesome shooter, way better than I expected. Sub half MOA with gold medal match. Will shoot some groups with my hand loads this weekend.

T/C encore with a 16.5" 243 and 300 blk barrels. Choate folder. Simple. Folds up to fit in a backpack. For comparison, the above is a savage 110 22" 7 mag.

Picked up a 16.5" GSR for it's mobility, being lightweight and compact. Figured it would be a good general purpose rig, set up for medium range engagements and the occasional long shot. It's my new hiking buddy.

if guys with long barrel, large caliber monsters are compensating for a tiny pecker, is having a shorty bolt gun saying I have a massive veined rager? discuss.......
Applying that logic, what does my shorty bolt gun say about my schlong?
