HM77RS 37101 308 Win

Hi I am thinking of buying a Ruger Compact Magnum in .308.

Like to know if any has one & what they think?. Thanks
 
Had one since last year.
Initially was shooting around 6 inches off the bench under a canopy, once the near-useless bead was replaced with an XS whiteline front blade it now runs about 1.2-2 inches.

Nice compact .308, exactly what I was looking for WITH iron sights.
Decent trigger, the pad could be replaced with a better one.

I got mine last year when they first appeared. It's just about the same overall length as the GSR. The 1/16 fine gold bead is hard on old eyes, but works if one can see it. I installed an inexpensive Bushnell Banner 1x4 scope and it'll outshoot my #1A in 308. It's handy and more than accurate enough for it's intended use. Bob! 8)
 
Really like mine! with iron sights or with the Leupold FX2 3x scope. quite accurate both ways.
 
Is the front sight base dovetailed?

I have a 77/22 that I put peep sights on and with the front sight based dovetailed it was just a matter of finding the right sight height to make it work. The peeps are much easier on the (old) eyes than the opens.
