Barrel length?

[TrxR]

Whats the preferred barrel length for a 30br?

 

[BRGUY]

I shoot a 23" and a 29" rifle barrel length in a 30 B-R, with the 29" barrel being over 200 fps faster, depending on bullet weight and load. Both are equally accurate.

Whatever hv taper length makes weight

 

[Doublejake]

I believe IBS minimum barrel length is 18”, which I would not want to be that short. I think it all depends on what your setup is and what it takes to Make the 13.5 Lbs.

13.5 lbs limits you to HV class only. I prefer HV taper cut to make 10.5 lbs. This allows me to shoot HV and LV class as sporter class.

Could buy a second rifle.

There is a reason most top shooters dont, the benefits of shooting and tuning one rifle usually trump shooting 3, besides the cost in the thousands of dollars it cost. Beware of the man that shoots one rifle.

Yea, he probably knows how to use it!

One for score and one for group.

You have to think of rifles like a bag of golf clubs. Your need more than a wedge.

I use to take 5 clubs chipping a shot, but I learned how to hit a burning SW low and screaming and the flop shot and a few others, but I liked the low screamin Sw from 125 in off hardpan

The last thing in this world I'd think of is a golf club! Let alone confuse it with anything to do with a rifle!!

If it can't score shoot it dam sure can't group, all mine do both, only thing I change for is different calibers, and build, depending on short range or long. But again, golf clubs will never confuse me with rifles.

Just ain't never had much use for golf clubs!

Whats the preferred barrel length for a 30br?

I don't know for certain, but my HV rifle has a 24" barrel that weighs exactly 6lbs and is still light enough to allow me to put a tuner on it, as well as enough weight on the buttstock to balance it.

A golf course is a deliberate misuse of a perfectly good rifle range!

 

[Bill Norris]

My 700 H V BR barrel is 24 " and my Model-7 # 4 taper is 23 "

Totally agree!

 

[gunsandgunsmithing]

The little 30's are pretty impressive and very efficient, giving up little to bbl length. One of my best ever finally died after multiple setbacks, down to 18 inches. Pretty much, if you can get the muzzle beyond the front of the bench(rules), a 30br or 30 Major will shoot just fine there.

For sure!

A golf course is for the smoky back room politician types to have another place to scheme, waste our money our land our taxes and anything else they can to make common peoples lives less pleasant.
