Sounds too long for a pickup rifle. I got the cataract off my right eye last week and I could use an aperture sight again, and I like that in a pickup rifle.
My Marlin 444 still has the open sights, so I may just take the scope off it and haul it around.
But damn it's heavy.
I've give Ed too much hell over plastic rifles and skinny bullets. If I go with an AR I'll never live it down.
But one chambered for 308 might not be a bad deal.
What's the overall length on those?
Have you considered an M1A? You could get one in a variety of configurations. I have a National Match that shoots very well. MOA on a good day I'd I do my part. It is a little heavy.
