After juggling the idea of a Short Action Wildcat cartridge, then settling on the Classic .243 Winchester, I've tossed around the idea of which rifle would be best suited. It has to be light (6 1/4 pounds is acceptable), 12" to 12.5" Length of Pull, 22" barrel or less, stainless action and barrel. I'd like the Browning A-Bolt Mountain Ti, but $2,000 for a factory rifle isn't really "sitting well" in my mind.
I believe I've narrowed it down to 1. The Ruger M77 Hawkeye Laminate Compact in .243 Winchester.
Does anyone have any experience(s) with this little rifle, or know someone who has one? If so, what's Your "take" on it? Accuracy? Overall Quality? Problems? Is there a Weaver-Style scope mount adapter available for it? Any details and feedback is greatly appreciated, Bro's!
Thank You! Merry Christmas!
