Shorties...because sometimes size matters.

Rifles, guys. Rifles.

I always built my rifles with 26"+ barrels and left the short barrels to ARs. Well today I picked up a shorty and man do I freaking love this gun so I'll get this thread started with mine.

- R700 SPS Tactical 223 1:9
- Barrel docked to 16.5" and threaded 1/2x28
- Grayboe stock with PTG bottom metal and accurate mag
- Timney trigger (need to reset the weight, he had this set HEAVY!)
- cerakoted
- ADM mount with nightforce SHV 4-14 F1 MOA

Shot a 50gr load of Sierra Gamekings in 1/2" today. Looking forward to taking out some woodchucks and coyotes soon!

Nice! Love short barrel rifles, not sure I'll ever own anything over 20" again.

Sweet rifle lamero! That thing looks like it'll be a ton of fun.

The only way I can own a barrel over 20" is if it goes into my SRS. lol One of these days, I will look into which cartridges perform well in 16" barrels and still give solid performance at range.

Thanks man. Had it out at 400 yards today but 8-10 mph winds so with an unknown load (some reloads off a buddy) it was a bit hard to land some shots but got a few on target. Hope to run it over the chrono tomorrow and get back out there.
