I’d like to pick up a light & short 7x57 for New England & Kentucky woods hunting and know that there are throat & mag length issues to consider for Remington, Ruger & Winchester. I’d enjoy advice on which to consider or maybe another option that I’m not looking at. The Remington Classic is too bulky for my needs but maybe a 700 Mtn rifle would be ok. But I sure like Ruger RL & Win Featherweight and own several of each. The rifle needs to be nimble cuz these woods are thick and I’m a tracker mostly who covers lots of ground in the woods.
I fully understand that the 7mm-08 is modern, better & similar at the same time but owning both a 6mm & 257 Roberts I’d like to complete the trio.
Throw it all in & thanks for reading my rambling thoughts!
Hard to beat a little Brno Carbine.
