[QUOTE="davkrat, post: 127784, member: 6452"] Well I went with the .308 Living in the people's republic of california I only have to wait 10 days!!! I plan on trimming the barrel down to 20" and putting a manlicher stock on it. If you've eer been to the coastal foothills of northern california you know how thick the manzanita can be. When I'm quail hunting even my compact 26" O/U seems too big. I figure with a 20" barrel I won't be giving up much with a .308 while I think a 300WSM would be a little anemic in that short of a pipe. I really like the light recoil of the .308. I've shot so many 3" Mags at ducks that I have developed a pretty bad flinch. I have to really think about it when I get behind a rifle. It will be nice to have a low recoil rifle to practice with. Thanks for the responses. This may not have been the proper forum to ask this question as I'm not getting a long range gun but rather a compact gun for up close. You'd be extremely lucky to even see a pig past 200 yards in the overgrown maze of brush and oaks around here. [/QUOTE]
