Aha, I think I got it. Link to photos uploaded to Photobucket. http://s1241.photobucket.com/albums/gg511/krbuell/

Hi, everyone. Rather than starting a new thread, I'm just adding to this one with pics of the 300 pound sow I took after sitting 2 hours in the rain. I think the hubby was more excited than I was. He was supposed to be videotaping, but had to get up and take a leak. He no sooner got up and...

St. Croix rods and reels are made in Park Falls, Wisconsin, for American-made fishing equipment that doesn't break the wallet too badly. There are a number of custom rod makers in the U.S. as well, if you've got the $$$ for them ($4,000 rods - LOL). Oh, and I too have a Ruger. Hard to get...

Just wanted to say good luck for getting the 7mm-08. It is a great all around medium game cartridge that shoots flat and accurate, with good distance. I had an A-Bolt myself, but it's now hubby's, as length of pull was too much for me. I've now gone to a Ruger Compact, but still in the 7mm-08.

Hi, again. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for their advice and opinions. I did end up getting that Ruger 77 Mark II in 7mm-08. In hindsight, the .308 was the better deal for price/condition, as the stock on this one is in rougher shape than anticipated, but I'm thinking I may...

Thanks, CMC, but I have checked out those rifles and have narrowed it down as described. The Savage and Rem 700 youths, even with shorter LOP just doesn't feel/fit well, and I like the shorter overall length of the models I listed. The Browning youth models are the highest priced of all but...

Negotiating on a used 7mm-08 M77 Compact I found. If that falls through, I'm also still considering a .308 M77 Mark II Compact found on Gun Broker for a good price, as well as a Ruger Gunsite Scout or a Savage Lightweight Hunter. Went back and once again shouldered the Lady Hunter and the...

Will be hunting black bear in uppermost northwest Wisconsin, 400 pound range, I'd say 30 - 50 yards, then whitetail in November. Thick brush mostly, although for deer I may sit on the field, which could be a 200 yard shot.

Oops, you're right, Chuck. I mistyped there. I was referring to they wouldn't cut down the synthetic because it's hollow. Yes, the laminate shouldn't be a problem to cut down. Unfortunately, most stainless barreled guns come with synthetic stocks.

I considered the Scout, too, but I believe they're discontinued. You were lucky to find one. They have the Gunsite Scout now, but I don't like that mag that hangs down and it's only available in .308.

Has anyone trimmed down a synthetic stock? How did it work out? They don't make any aftermarket stock for Tika that I'm aware of, and a lot of gunsmiths won't cut down a laminate, although I did find one guy a few towns over. Just wondering how much it messes with balance of gun and if it...

The Hawkeye Compact is the updated Ruger M77 Mk II Compact, but .308 is the only caliber I've been able to find it in other than .223, and I want to kill a bear, not piss it off - LOL. Otherwise, .260 would be my next choice after 7mm-08. The Micro Hunter (or whatever they're calling it now)...

Hi, all - new here. On the hunt for a new rifle. Must be short LOP (12.5 - 12.75), stainless and light. That rules out Tika (14 LOP) and I can't afford a NULA. I've come down to Ruger Hawkeye Compact in .308. My first choice was 7mm-08, but backordered until who knows when. Next contender...
