What's an 18 inch barrel going to do for you at 100 yards?

SR15 Mod 1 upper.
But really almost anything will be good at 25-100 yrds. |

What's an 18 inch barrel going to do for you at 100 yards? I think that 16" is getting to be on the short end for 556, I like the extra velocity you get for heavier bullets with a long barrel. I also like being able to throw a QR scope on it and switching to long range 250-350 yards if need be. 18" is the perfect balance without being too long or too heavy. |

You get very little gains on an 18" over a 16" especially with heavier bullets.
Sounds like you need 2 rifles. |

If You are only going to 350 max, You could do that with a 11.5 or 12.5 I'd go 14.5 pinned. 18in is WAY heavy and unbalanced once You get used to a 14.5 |
