I asked this on another thread but it probably makes more sense to ask it separately. My father got a Remington rifle recently which I love but at 24" it's a little too much for me. I had considered getting a Winchester Model 70 compact but it's not available in the .223 caliber.
Other guns I'm looking at are the Remington Model Seven 20" (I'd like to attach a scope on the gun) and the Ruger M77 Compact II which is 16 1/2." I'm not a hunter so this would be just to have a gun in this caliber to head to the range with my father. I've never had a rifle so now that my father bought one, I'm itching to have one of my own. Any thoughts or suggestions? I'm about 5'2" and 117 lbs. so finding the right barrel length that is most comfortable is important. Thank you.
