Almost looked like really light loads... not much recoil at all, and SBRs typically have a lot more recoil.Originally Posted by brutal
And yes, that is the bullet sticking out... which means the barrel is not REALLY 2". I can't imagine that thing can even consistently hit a target at 25 yards.

Barrel length measurement includes the chamber - dowel down the bore measured to the bolt face. So yeah, that's technically a 2" barrel, with about 1/4" of rifling engaging the bullet, if any. Any shorter, and I'm not sure it could even be considered a rifle, unless you rifled the chamber.

I understand the technically correct methodology of measuring barrel length, but the chamber certainly won't be stabilizing that bullet once it fires... Just seems like it belongs at Dragonman's or something.
I guess what I was trying to say, is WTF WAS HE THINKING??

Gonna hazard a guess here.... "showing off something shorter than him, that can still shoot"
YMMV
