Ruger Compact 243

Post by Umshwati Boy »

Hi there.

Just wanted to find out if anyone has used one of these. Looking at the 243 specifically, what's the muzzle blast like considering it has a 16.5" Barrel? Looking at getting one for my girlfriend to use, as she is rather small in stature and LOP on my hunting rifles (which I don't plan on chopping up) are all too long for her.

Cheers
"A peculiar virtue in wildlife ethics is that the hunter ordinarily has no gallery to applaud or disapprove of his conduct. Whatever his acts, they are dictated by his own conscience, rather than by a mob of onlookers. It is difficult to exaggerate the importance of this fact."

My brother in law has a 243 Ruger with 18" barrel and the muzzle blast is uncomfortable. I would rather go for at least 20", preferably 22"
