Can a 7mm08 be cut to 16”?

Yes, about anything you can do with a .308 you can do with a 7mm08 and expect similar results. If loading ammo then H414 or H4350 are the Varget of the 7mm08.

Can a 7mm08 be cut to 16”?

You can cut anything to 16” as long as there’s enough metal to thread.

Or you could go to the tampon aisle and pick up a 6.5 Creedmoor.

Tampon aisle. Noted.

It would be better to use a cartridge with less capacity for a shorter barrel. A 7mm RM case would have too much volume to allow the use of a faster burning, denser powder. It isn't safe to use a powder that doesn't come somewhat close to filling the case because the loose powder atomizes in the big volume can burn all at once (detonate) instead of a relatively slow burn. That's why you generally don't use pistol powder in a long barreled gun. The 7mm-08 could be loaded with a faster powder and push the same bullets faster and also not have a mushroom cloud muzzle blast of unburnt powder.

Ok so now I’m buying a 7-08. Anybody selling?

20-22. Any shorter you’re burning 20% more powder to get 7-08 performance.

I’ve got a REM arms 700 in 7-08. Bought it on a whim. Shoots around an inch with factory ammo, 10-shots , no 3 shot got lucky cherry picked bullshit. 24” barrel matte finish. You can have it cut to 20 and threaded. I’ve got too many overlaps and need to thin the herd.

[TennDan]

They’re 18”

You're right.

[Whackumstackum]

You're right.

Wasn’t trying to be a jackass either, I have one and it’s a great gun. It is from the tampon isle though since it’s in 6.5.
