[QUOTE="Cold Trigger Finger, post: 1007664, member: 56732"] My wife's Ruger M77 mk2 stainless Compact has always been a delight to have with me. I wanted a compact rifle but with the capabilities for longer range so I chopped the barrel on my Hawkeye SS 6.5 Creedmoor 18.6" finished length. I lost some velocity but still around 2600 fps with 140 gr bullets. I didn't loose much weight but man o man is the rifle Soooo much funner to have with me all the time now. !!!!! It is still printing sub 3/8" groups and it is heavy enough to settle in very well for a shot. I also moved the rear sling stud up to the bottom of the grip on the Boyd's Tacticool laminate stock. I'm a big fan of laminate stocks and don't like a rifle being too light. For the kind of hunting I mostly do this is just right. [/QUOTE]
