RE: Ideal Caliber for Short Barrels
I was at my local shop yesterday and saw what might be the exact package you are describing.It was a Ruger M 77 compact in 7MM-08 top that with a fixed 6X leupold M8 and you have a very quick handling light small package .It looked almost like a youth model rifle.You can hold it by the pistol grip hold it to the floor and isabout 6 or 8 inches from touching .About looks like a carbine length rifle.Might be worth looking in to.
