[QUOTE="Peter Morton, post: 2310548, member: 115450"] I have Savage 110 High Country in 280 AI. It's got a 22" barrel, threaded for a brake/suppressor, and a 9" twist. It shoots nice, like sub 1" MOA or better, sometimes. Components for reloading are a little scarce, but I shoot a 160 Accubond with it and get .5" groups, sometimes. It may still need a little dialing in. I might not be where I want to be with it, yet. I may also just be inconsistent, myself. But the rifle is a little heavy. I was thinking about getting a CF barrel to shave a little weight and add a suppressor. Carbon Six will do a Savage barrel in 18" and I can add a 5-7" suppressor to keep the barrel short enough for practical hunting. My question is simple: Am I going to lose velocity based on the barrel being 18"? Or does the suppressor maintain velocity and give me the speed of a longer barrel? [/QUOTE]
