Got a hard on to buy one in .308 ... any advice ???

....
I have shot them really nice for in the bush but i would go for a 243 or 7mm08 but thats what i like for cals in a short action

They're pretty nice little rifles. They sure kick like a dag-gum mule in that little configuration, but a really nice carrying rifle for the bush.
|
No lefties:(
|
I've got one in 308, great little gun and it does not kick much. My wife uses it when she comes hunting and shoots it at the range no problems. The only thing I would say is there is more muzzle blast/noise from the shorter barrel.
|
LOUD!!!! But other than that they are neat little rilfes.
|
I had one in 223, I really liked it. But I will repeat what Rob said - they are loud.... Crazy loud.
|
I have the rcm. 338 rcm with 20" barrel. I do like it.
|
There's a laminate version for sale right now on CGN.
|
I have one in a 223, very accurate, i put a Limbsaver recoil pad on just to increase LOP a bit, looks good to IMO.

My next door neighbor hasn't used anything but his compact ever since he bought it, about 9 years ago.
His is a .308 and he has a red dot sight on it, great bush hunting rig. My only gripe would be that they don't come with iron sights on them. Why make a bush gun without the option of irons? |

I like the compact/short rifles. If I could find one for a good price I'd buy it.

Obviously tastes will vary, but for me I feel that going back to irons was a good move. |
I have one in 7.62x39 and it is the perfect little deer gun. Lightweight, very compact 16.5" barrel and accurate.

I don't think ruger is making the compact any more?
|
I would consider the Ruger scout. Almost the same gun but with iron sights.

I have one in 7-08. I love it, but they are stupidly hard to find. Ruger still makes them but I am not sure they still export them to Canada. Best of luck. They are worth it.
