Thanks Doc, Yeah, I've seen the show... and I understand your point - That most long range shooters are 'not average'. That being said, my point was sort of round-a-bout... (remember the Noyeki Commanche?). - Why would a 'non-average', long range qualified shooter be concerned about the performance characteristics of the 16" vs. the 18" bbl? To my mind, this is just a point of curiosity... and general information. But, for practical applications...? Isn't the qualitative difference very minimal? Best Regards, TJ

When I was growing up(about 100 years ago...) the maximum, effective, humane, 'kill shot' was to be taken at no more than 300 yds. Of course, now, with better gear, that has been changed considerably, to nearly 400 yds. My point is that if a 'humane' attempted shot is seen to have a max range of 400 yds, why wouldn't this apply to either a 16" or 18" bbl? The ballistics would be a non factor... Just sayin...

Well shoot... Let me jump in here with a few favs... My trusty boot knife... The usualy every day carry... My dress carry... (with one of the Colts) And, the Reeves Pacific... Love 'em all! <thumbsup> TJ

Thanks a million guys!

Just checkin' in... Been a long time pistelero and just starting to get into 308. Looking forward to many discussions and info sessions. Times-a-wastin'! TJ

I was looking for info on 308 ARs. Looks like a nice place you have here... Maybe I'll stick around a while and chat. <munch> Thanks, TJ
