Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds Want to buy or trade for Youth/Compact 7-08 or 308 bolt rifle

Ii am looking for a bolt action rifle with 20" barrel and compact LOP stock in 7-08 or 308. Might consider a 243. Tikka or T/C Venture preferred. New or like new.

I have $$$ and/or NIB Tikka T3 Lite 223 and Ruger American 22-250 to trade. Both of these are synthetic and blue. Both have 10 twist barrels. Have box and papers for Tikka, but not for Ruger. Neither of these is a youth/compact rifle.

I have just what you are looking for, except it is in a Howa model 1500. It comes with the adult and youth stocks and has had very little use by the looks of it. The bolt face is clear of any brass or markings. It is chambered in the 7mm-08. Its a nice little package. Message me if you are interested

PM's replied to. I'm still looking.

Pawn shop in billings has a wood stock 7-08
Shorter than regular stock unsure if factory youth.
Unsure of asking price but around $600
Can check more in depth if interested.

Just picked up a Stainless Remington 700 Compact ADL 7mm-08 (shortened stock, 20" barrel) with a crap 3X9 mounted at Dick's Sports on clearance for $450. Bought mine for my Grandson and My son bought one too for his girl. These were special production for Dicks from Remington. Check your local store, if they don't have one they may be able to line you up from another store. Wanted to get him a SS Model Seven but for the $$ this will work till he is older.

Ruger American compact may work too

Thanks Dan700mn. I'm looking for a cheaper, lighter rifle.

7mmStwer - I have been looking at Ruger American Ranch Compact in 300 Blackout. Seems like a light, handy timber carbine.

Get her a Tikka compact 7mm-08 and never look back. That is if you want her to have a rile that is boring as it just keeps putting bullet after bullet through the same hole.

I agree with coyote 268
Get a tikka

From a cartridge standpoint, will the 22-250 not do what you need?

You are probably right Montana. I just think a really short, light rifle that shot slower, heavier bullets would be nice in my 50 yard hunting spots in timber.

I have a full-size Tikka T3 Lite in 308. I thought a T3 or Venture Compact in 308 loaded down would be great in a tree stand or tight blind.

Following up, I was just going to say you can get the Ruger stock with short LOP for about $50 from them and then have a couple inches of barrel taken off.

That's another great suggestion. I might do that.

Thanks

Sent you a PM - my American Compact 7-08 is a stainless model, fyi.

How about a Remington 788 in a 7-08?

TE999, I have not received a PM from you. Please try again.

elkhunter1945, please PM me all the info about your 788.

Thanks,

Mark
