    Have decided on a 223 and now would like to find a rifle thats very small and light so i can fish rivers without it bulking up my pack

    I don't mind modifying something to suit.

    my pighunter mate has just brought a "rossi" (I know. I know) in .223, had the barrel cut down so total length is a inch over "minimum length" and suppressed it.
    Fitted a Tasco PDP3 red dot to it and reckons its the bees knees for getting thru the scrub etc.
    Since most of his shots are 30 yards or less he say velocity loss with short barrel makes bugger all difference
    It is certainly nice and short/pointable
    All those with dogs waiting no longer fear death. Those with many dogs waiting even welcome it in it's time.
