Your new short one a 2b? I ask because I think by my calculations, 17” you could get and still have adequate shoulder. I need another short saum
Don't let your ears hear what your eyes didn't see, and don't let your mouth say what your heart doesn't feel

My 21” is 2b
My new 16” is 3
I don’t have calipers, but if I remember right a 2b can make 5/8 with a good shoulder at about 16-16.5
The 3 can get to around 20”

What is your goal? I'm gonna replace a factory sporter with either a 2 or a 2b. It'll be finished with a recessed crown at 24". No threads. I know somebody has some pics.
Haha yea I polished that thing for hours.

Thanks Patsy. Those look heavier than I remembered, which isn't a bad thing. Was your 6 Creed a 2b? If I had your old 6mm Creed chambered in anything 7mm, I'd never build another rifle.
Haha yea I polished that thing for hours.

6 creed was a light Palma 23”. It felt heavy to me
When I did my researching , 2b was the way to go and I believe still is if you don’t need 5/8 threads with any length. 2b is just right imo
