Hi Folks,
Down at the local gun emporium this morning I was playing with one of the the Ruger compacts in .243 and was struck by a novel ( read that crazy) idea for a go anywhere stop just about anything gun.

A 6.5 -7lb. 16.5 inch to 18 in muzzle breaked ( extra loud but required to somewhat control this little monster) barrel LA CRF actioned (Ruger , Winchester, CZ or Mauser) in a laminate or synthetic stock w/ a 1-4 scope ( maybe a scout setup?) and good Iron sight backup.

It would hit hard and be quick handling for easy to carry in steep, rough, or dangerous game country.

What do Y'all think about such a gun?

Good Shooting,
HBB

I think Remington made them. They were called model 600 & 660's in 350 Rem Mag. They are bringing back a newer version based on the model 7 action in 350.

Sounds great! Why not use that little Ruger Compact and rebarrel for the 416/350 Rem Mag/Lockhart/Express. Whatever the accepted name for it is. I wish I wasn't a lefty I would love to use one of those little Rugers for that sort of a project. Sean
