[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1204335, member: 30902"] 20"will work but you'll want a good side discharge MB on it. The military gets along just fine with 20-24" barrels on the .308's and 300WM's. IF you go with the wsm and faster powders you can reduce the flast/blast quite a bit and tame it very well with a good brake. Between the two I'd definitely go with the wsm over the 308. My mountain rifles are all full size M700's and M70's with 24 and 26" barrels and find them just fine. I saw a neat titanium 16" barreled .260 built on a 700 action on Gun Broker the other day that would make a bangup mountain rifle for anything smaller than Elk and could even handle them at 400yds and under IF you can poke the pill in the hole.
