    Let’s see those 16” or short rifles!

    I’m looking for ideas to build or buy a 18” or less rifle to suppress in 308. Looking for some ideas on them.

    Looking at the Remington 700 AAC or the Bergara ridge SP.

    Are there any other rifles out there I should be looking at?

    I have a 16 inch build I will sell. It is a 1:12 twist so the heavy bullets come in at .75 moa. Shoots better with 150 class stuff. I have had it in the truck for a while. I will pull it out and take a few pictures if you are interested. Rem 700, Triggertech Special, pillars. I will bed it if you want for a few more pesos.

      If I were going to build another I go with suppressed weapon systems out of Stafford, TX.

        I wish I had some trigger time on one. Integrally suppressed I would probably go 18". They look amazing.

          I built this 16.5” 308 for myself a little while back. Had an old 700 action laying around and a 1:10 rock creek that was collecting dust. I call it my Frankenstein since the only thing new on it was the barrel. It’ll shoot...

            I have the 700 AAC and like it, and assume you want to suppress this?

                I have several 308's. Here are a three I built for the handiness of a short rifle. Two based on a Rem actions and the other on a Salvage action.

                  I REALLY want to put a folder on mine. Dang thing will almost fit in your pocket.

                    I’ve had the AAC’s and they shot well, just heavy to drag around. I’m currently having a stainless Tikka T3 Lite 308 cut to 16” and threaded. It’ll be sitting in an MDT LSS Gen2 chassis and probably wear a Leupold VX-R 4-12x40 Firedot TMR I have that’s been sitting.

                            Im about to pull the trigger on a Bergara SP in 6.5 or 308. Ive been wanting the 16' Remmy but by the time i replace the stock and trigger, might as well have bought the Bergara. I love my Remington 700's but feel the Bergara has a little more quality straight out of the box.

                              Absolutely they are better! No doubt. Just that extra length of the Bergara makes a big difference in a 4x4 box blind when trying to go suppressor. I would rather have the Remington unfortunately. I have 3 bergaras and every single one shoots lights out!
