I am wanting to participate in some 600 yard Light gun matches with my BAT 6BR with straight 1.25” contour barrel 27 inches finished length and a muzzle brake. My problem is the gun weighs 18 pounds 4 ounces so it won’t make the 17 pound limit. I don’t want to change stocks or scopes and I’m thinking to have someone turn down the barrel to make weight. I’ve researched this online and found very mixed opinions. Some say you can do this and not affect accuracy and others say accuracy will suffer. Thoughts on this are appreciated. Is another possibility to reduce the barrel length i.e. cut it shorter?
