Long hikes and thick brush require a lighter, more compact rifle system. Adding only 5.5″ to your barrel, the Sasquatch keeps things lean and nimble.
Shorter length not only makes the Sasquatch lighter overall, it shifts the balance point back toward the shooter, making standing or kneeling shots much easier.
Everything has a trade off: shorter length means fewer baffles, less internal volume and reduced suppression of the muzzle blast. If you are looking for maximum sound reduction, the BBM YeTI is the answer.
If you are looking for light and compact, grab the Sasquatch. Designed to handle pressures up to 300RUM, the best performance is seen with cartridges with less powder capacity from 6mm Creedmoor to 30-06.
