Hey guys new to forum just purchased a 22: barraled action from brownell's. Wanted the lightweight but got tired of waiting for it. The primary purpose of the rifle will be as a lightweight hunting rig. Had two questions.
1. Was planning on having the barrel cut to 20". Whats everyone's opinion on this? should I go shorter? Or keep the 22" barrel
2. Stocks. Called Howa and they want 165 shipped for the plain black synthetic stock and 215 for the camo. To me that's crazy high for a stock like that. The Hogue's are 130 shipped from hogue in the short actions. Howa must have a huge markup on them.
So keeping in mind the purpose of this gun, should I bite the bullet and buy a overpriced stock from Howa or go with the boyd's which is only 129+ shipping but I am worried the Boyd's will be much heavier.
Thanks in advance
