...just wondering... I recently bought a .308 suppressor and have been shooting it on a .308 Savage Hog Hunter. Three rapid shots with or without the suppressor will run in the .5-.75 area. In looking around for a lighter weight rifle for hunting came across the Kimber Adirondack with a 18" barrel...just perfect for what I am looking for...until I read the specs..a 1-12 twist barrel.
I called Kimber and spoke to one of the tecs about why they were using a 1-12 when most others manufacturers were using 1-10...especially on a threaded barrel gun that one could use subsonic ammo and a suppressor the 1-12 isn't going to do very well with a 190-220 grain bullet at slow speed. Apparently no one at Kimber ever considered that aspect as they are planning a muzzlebrake for the gun...
So what say you...I have had lots of .308s from Remington, Ruger, TC and Savage and all have had 1-10 barrels which shot beyond great. Does anyone think that maybe a 1-10 would help with the Kimbers accuracy...

No idea....but for your application, I'd just get a Ruber American Predator with the 18" barrel.
Or if you're planning to shoot a lot of subsonic, wait for the Ruber American Ranch 300 BKT with the 16+" barrel.
