I turned 70 in Jan. Last year I quit using a heavy Model 700 in 7 Mag on Elk (which I'd used for 35 years) and went to a Ruger American Compact in 7MM-08. Mine is stainless and Left Handed. I mounted a 2X7 Redfield Revolution with steel mounts and the whole thing is 7 lbs. Not only that, but the rifle is around 37" long with its 18" barrel.--- very handy. I get right at 2800 fps with a 140 grain Partition.
