    I guess the question then becomes what are the advantages of keeping a full length m305? ~100/200 more fps at the muzzle? 3 additional inches of sight radius? Would the full length barrel translate into higher rankings in precision rifle matches if all else is kept equal?

    Hindsight is 20/20. When I bought mine I wasn't planning on changing it to what it has become now. I had lusted over having an m14 since I was a teenager. After having it for some time I discovered m14.ca and started lusting after their sexy stocks and finally fell prey to my weakness and got the stock. All this time, I had never in my life participated in a rifle match of any kind.

    After doing one season of rifle matches, I've been having this itch for taking the m305 to a match. But just hauling around that beast up in the mountains is very different from carrying a reasonably weighted bolt action. Doing mag change drills around the house also feels much different than when using the much lighter vz58.

    Will I lose much weight by chopping the barrel? Probably not. Maybe it will become a placebo that convinces me that mag changes are going to be easier. What do I have to lose that would justify buying a whole new shorty m305 instead of my future hk93?

    A shorty M305 you can have now. A HK93? As MLK said," I have a dream....!"

    Competing in tac-rifle with a 305 is pure cool IMO.
    I'm looking forward to seeing you hit those gongs with some big 30 cal!

    Cool. Thanks! I've been wanting to try something like this for a while now but the restricted requirement has been keeping me away.

    Edit** will there be matches in AB this year? If not is there anything similar in the province?

    DSSBCA is only operating in BC (for now?!?!)... I'm pretty sure there are a fair number of tactical/3-gun circuits in Alberta... Maybe post something in the Action Shooting or Service Rifle forums...
