I have a Remington 700 VLS .223 that shoots very accurately, which for me is 1 inch grouping at 100 yards.
It's also a beautiful rifle, but I have been thinking about the possibility of having the barrel shortened from 26 to about 21 inches, just to give it a different look.
The action has already been fiberglass bedded and the barrel free floated. The VLS has a fairly low twist rate of 1:12 inches.
Could you expect the accuracy to stay the same, or would it be totally unpredictable?
Thanks
