Short barreled.223

[lapua]

Gents, im putting a rifle together for training/informal gong shooting out to 350m max. Its going to be a rem 700 .223 1:7 probably. I want to keep it short, tha handguard on the xlr chassis is 14”, so if i use an end can (jetz?) i could havit it at sbout 14.5-15”. Any issues going that short? Scope is an nxs 3.5-15 x 50 with 0.1mil clicks. Targets will be 4-6” gongs and a ipsc torso.

happy for any comment? Other thought is have it at about 18” and use a reflex moderator.

My AR-15 pistol has a 14.5" Odin barrel on it. I have killed prairiedogs to 400 yards so far with little fuss.~Andrew
