... it is now my favourite rifle to shoot except for my Winchester 1892. It fires very accurate groups and overall it's easy to handle. If you hunt stalking and not sitting you will appreciate the lighter/shorter rifle immediately. The Mauser-style action is very smooth. I deliberately mounted the Leuopold Scout Scope forward of the bolt (mosin nagant style) which is great for maintaining situational awareness and faster target acquisition. As for the caliber, .308, imo, is a great all-round cartridge. It is large enough for elk/deer/pig but won't destroy a fox. It maintains a relatively flat trajectory out to 1,000 metres and is among is easy to procure.

If barrel length is the only issue -- Ruger makes the same rifle in 18" without the flash suppressor for the overseas market. That is the one I have. The added advantage is the barrel is stainless steel versus blued.
