    Are your matches in the same state you live in? Also, if you’re running at Rock Castle the lighter the better and there won’t be a shot you can’t take with a 10.5”.

    Truth.
    AQ planned for years and sent their A team to carry out the attacks, and on Flight 93 they were thwarted by a pick-up team made up of United Frequent Fliers. Many people look at 9/11 and wonder how we can stop an enemy like that. I look at FL93 and wonder, "How can we lose?". -- FromMyColdDeadHand

    Yup, go shoot the gun while running a timer. Practice will get those times down faster than a new upper will.
    Dont discount dry practice as well. You can train manipulations and target aquisition and transitions to become subconscious without firing a round.

    Verify with live fire and a timer.

    if you only have one, then use that one

    generally, I'd go shorter and lighter provided you could hit the target reliabily

    same as I'd go with precision rifle comps. 20" for .308 is fine, but 30" is unwieldy heavier but bucks wind slightly better

    depends on velocity of your rounds and distance; shoot heavier if you're traveling to comps

    some time this week i am going to the range to see what the little guy can do at 300. i do have a rock river 16" hbar barrel, it's a carbine gas system though (i bought it 6 years ago before i knew any better about gas systems, barrel profiles etc). after i took all the crap off the upper and replaced it it with a light weight MI hand guard, it's only .6lbs heavier than my sbr.
