Finally got my suppressor in, but still havent decided what route I want to go for a rifle. Not BR, just fun target shooting. Maybe some racoon killing at the feeder. There are a couple options im considering as money is a bit tight and rifles arent as easy to find as they were a year ago.
Option 1- I have a marlin 880sq thats a good shooter with a 21" barrel. Cut it down to about 16.5-18" and thread it. As long as that doesnt kill the accuracy, its the cheapest option.
Option 2 - Savage mk2. Already threaded, but would need a boyds stock as I dont like the laminate or plastics they use. Next cheapest option probably and every savage ive owned has been a shooter.
Option 3 - Ruger american target (my understanding as they actually tend to shoot better than the ruger precision?) or Tikka T1X. Both already threaded and probably the Tikka being the most accurate. Also most expensive option.
I guess my main concern is in yalls experience, will cutting that 880 barrel down ruin the accuracy?
