Welcome to the site! To get out to 1k with a .308, I'd recommend a heavy profile barrel not less than 18" in length. Fulton Armory, Faxon, and Ballistic Advantage are all barrel manufacturers I would recommend, I'm sure others will chime in....
I'm very glad you made it off the street beat without being killed. Hesitation is a really good way to become dead, and if your mindset now is the same as when you served, it seems to me you would've been at higher risk of dying than an officer who isn't going to hesitate when the moment comes.
Please don't mistake my bluntness for malice, I want to see all my brothers in uniform go home safe and whole at the end of the day.
It's a good shoot. Distance between the aggressor and the defender isn't the only consideration. He warranted a bullet the instant he disregarded her directives and advanced on her.
Mmmm, I dunno, someone (I won't name any names) has been derailing a lot of threads lately. This might be a thread about barrel profiles, let's not count our chicks before they consent.
It's not just a place we know, but a place we love. I bought a heavy buffer from Clint less than two weeks ago. He's good people and will treat you right.
