You realize of course, this will be a fun rifle to shoot? I would not get a barrel burner at all.
I debated all of this and decided it was not worth reinventing the wheel.
I built a fast twist .308 that can shoot heavier, high BC bullets. If I want to go long, I have better rifles for that. 308 is great in the 0-600 yard range.
I've gotten to the point where I just want something like this to work, rather than fuss with load development and everything else. I have guns that I try to get max performance from, and then I have guns that just go to work. You have to decide what you want.
If I were building again today I'd go short CF barrel, light folding chassis, TBAC Ultra 5. OR
I would buy a Sig Cross.
A suppressed lightweight 6.5 Grendel AR is even more fun though...
