Here's a couple of zastava, top one is a grendel, bottom a 223 in a youth stock. Both have barrels around 14 inch https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...898fde948c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ec82e78331.jpg

I used to hunt with a 24 inch 308.
Didn't find it hard but did get caught up with the crap a lot.
I have a few 20 inch factory rifles and that seems like a nice compromise.
My next rifle will be chopped short though.
Deadly!!! Cute pup, Viz?Quote:

2400 with the 123g so pretty good for a short barrelQuote:

Better that i can hold with the iron sites - i can keep all 7 rounds on an A5 at 100 yards.
Shoots like a laser at 100m.

So fire it in the general direction, and walk it on to target?Quote:

And 63mm mag length, makes the 1:8 223 a more viable option for those long ELD-M
What's the deal with getting one in the country these days? Import permit required and someone to collect it from Auckland airport?
Yeah man.Quote:

I found the AR15 platform with short barrels & the bigger cartridges like 6.5 Grendel, 6.8 SCP, 450 Bushmaster etc to be fantastic in the bush short light, ergonomic, maneuverable and with plenty of punch
Just a lil 308 mate. Took a while to find the maple/synthetic stock. I have a hells.canyone in 7mmrm, a tikka t3x in 300wm in a dpt long range chassis, and a tikka t3x in 6.5prc in a mdt tac21 chassis.Quote:

Did you get the alloy or steel action?
IIRC it is a steel action, I would have to check, it has a 1-8 Krieger barrelQuote:

What's the overall length with that size barrel?Quote:

Reduced the weight quite a bit compared to factory, and made it a bit more ergonomic, and a lot nicer aesthetically.

I've got a second one in .270 with a 20" barrel with synthetic stock which would still qualify for this thread- I guess it saves roughly 4" or so due to the lack of bolt. Comes in at exactly 36" without the suppressor.

Imagine a carbon fibre set up in that top one! Would be a dope!Quote:

@Huk how do you like the lightweight Savage? I loved my old Savage 116 in .270, but it wasn't the lightest to carry. I have been eyeing up the lightweight hunter. I'm also a lefty which limits my options- one of the reasons a Savage appeals.
I started working on a carbon fiber skeleton stock for my Thompson Contender. Been on the back burner for a while though with importing a pistol grip taking a lifetime.
I think you know what you need to do ;)Quote:
