Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles 300 WSM in Shorter Barrel??

Handy notwithstanding, to me it's the noise factor. Even a .308 Win. get a bit blasty and overly noisy when the barrel gets short. My .308 is 23", my .300 Win Mag is 24". I wouldn't want a .300 Whizzum shorter than 22". With the short action and a 22" bbl, you've got a handy rifle. Everything is a compromise one way or another and that's about as far as I'm willing to go with barrel length.

IMHO.
