So we have a HUGE jackrabbit problem at the ranch. So i got to thinking how can i thin these suckers out WHILE deer hunting and not disrupt my hunt. Solution, get my old savage mark ii out of the safe, thread it and suppress it. Here is my question(s)...anyone out there chime in on barrel length. Im thinking of getting it cut down to 14.5". i want to be able to shoot 100yards accurately. also open to shorter lengths if someone can justify it for me with accuracy. im not sure hopw carried away with this idea i will get but as of right now its just a barrel chop and thread however feel free to post up anything...may do a stock as well. planning stages right now, thanks for the feed back

You might Suppress it, but it will still be loud enough to scare the deer in your area! Sorry;

who invited the party pooper in here?! worst case scenario i have a cool 22 to play with

Any rifle with under a 16inch barrel you will have to SBR it.

yea, im not opposed to that. i like my SBRs

i randomly chose 14.5 because it leaves me about 3" past the stock and leave me with a overall 19" barrel including 5" suppressor.

If I was gonna SBR one, I think I would go around 10-12"

Just my opinion

I'm not opposed to that length. A couple things I need to consider are 1) accuracy and 2) the rifle stock. At minimum I could prolly do 12-12.5"

Accuracy would be fine at a shorter length. Barrel length doesn't define accuracy. My 8" 300 blackout is a sub moa with the right Ammo.

And with subsonics it will be no louder than a Daisy Red Rider. It will still thump jackrabbits as long as the distance is kept reasonable.

True. Shorter barrels are stiffer barrels. This usually translates to better accuracy as long as the crown is good.

True but i was more concerned with a shorter barrel velocity would be effected thus creating tumbling and a lack of accuracy at 100 yards.

after taking a couple measurements, a 12.5 inch barrel will leave me 1.5" in front of the stock. this would make the overall length 17.5" with can. im thinking is may be the length to go

Just stateting the facts!

A surpressor is not normally used to make the gun quiet enough not to spook game, but to protect your ears from the loud report!

I think this would be a super cool setup

Yeah but a .22 LR bolt action with sub sonic ammo is pretty darn quiet.

And the above video is a semi auto, which is louder because you hear the action working.

Got a hold of Pete down in Hempstead. He runs precision barre works and has done work for me before. He said he could whip this up no problem. Time to make it happen.

I threaded a rifle barrel for a Gemtech supressor for a friend. With Gemtech subsonic ammo it sounded like a pellet rifle.
