My goal is a suitable .308 Bolt gun to shoot suppressed with subsonic loads. Some things I need to consider...
Barrel length - My Sig QD suppressor is 8". I'd like to get a fairly short threaded 1:10 factory barrel so the overall length is not crazy long with the suppressor affixed. I prefer not to have to go to a gunsmith and have this barrel cut down and threaded if factory options are available. The highly expanding 180gr subsonic bullets I load from Maker Ammo are designed for this 1:10 twist.
Picatinny Rail - I'll be using a standard day scope along with a CO-X Armasight Night Clip-On. I'll need some extra Picatinny rail out front to affix the night sight when in use.
Trigger - Pretty much like 2 stage triggers that break cleanly at perhaps around 4 pounds for a hunting gun. A clunky trigger with pre-travel is a deal breaker for sure.
I don't know for sure an ideal gun like I am describing exists. I suppose I could always piece a gun together and build one as described, but if a factory option exists as described, I'd prefer that option.
Thanks all for your options to take a look at.
