Hi, I'm thinking about buying a new 308 for target shooting. Our local range is only 100 meter so I will mainly shoot this distance. Maybe in the future I'll look at other ranges that offer say up to 500 meters.
I'm looking at the Howa 1500 options in a varmint barrel profile. They offer both a 20" and 24" barrels.
The 20" barrel has the option of a threaded barrel. I'm keen on using a muzzle brake on this rifle.
20" with threaded barrel
24" no tread
Question: will I be disadvantaged by using a 20" barrel
If I go with the 24" then what would it cost to have the barrel threaded
Thanks in advance.
