The last time I went to Kansas, I was in a plywood box blind that was small and short. It was almost impossible to get my Tikka 30-06 moved without bumping. So, I decided I needed to whack the barrel on one of my rifles.
The .308 is a better candidate, and most on this thread are saying 20" as a minimum preference. I'm thinking 3" shorter at 21" will help a lot, and I may not need to go any shorter. If so, I can always take it for another trim. My M700 is a stainless SPS.
