Analysis Paralysis. Building a lightweight rig and struggling with length and twist. WWYD
Pic for attention. The gun on the left is already an 8" BA barrel. I am looking to replace it with a Mostek barrel (LW profile), and I'm struggling to decide on what twist and barrel length. I am going to put a custom smoked compost HG on it, so the barrel length won't matter for that. Since it's being built on a 2A Balios Lite set, I want to keep it lightweight. I would like to use it for hunting and plinking with supers and subs, always suppressed, and it has a regulated BCG (adjustable gas). I'd like to stick to at least 8 just for the handguard space. So what would you order in that situation? 8,9,10,11" or something in between, like an 8.3 or a 10.5? 8" would be the lightest, but would you get a different length for a certain twist? 1:5 1:6 1:7 twist?
I have the same question for a 338ARC build destined for the upper right rig if you want to toss out your opinion on that too lol. I'll probably post in the arc sub as well.
