That all comes down to packaging too though, even with a longer length of pull my 24" single shot is shorter than my 20" r700 259472

My Kimber Adirondack in 308 with a 17” barrel. I did have a Swaro z3 3-10 on which topped it off nicely as a bush rifle but recently put the Zeiss hd5 3-15x42 on as I’m planning on doing some more...

I run the Bergara B13 takedown in .308 and 16” barrel. DPT suppressor and cheap 3x9x40 scope on it. Zeros in at 100m and will shoot almost through the same hole on the target it’s a real little tack...

Best rifle to build a bush gun from is something cheap, ideally as thin a profile as possible to reduce snags eg, monte carlo or similar style stock, flush fit/internal mag, recessed or shrouded mag...

Howa superlite 308, 14.5" barrel, Vixen 2-8, weighs 2.45kg all up, good wee shooter and still puts the factory 150gr superformance out at 2750fps so good for 350 easy. If they made a floorplate for...

The best thing to do is get people used to seeing hunters carrying rifles (where they are allowed to). Make it normal and not something to get all anxious about.

Kimber hunter, leupold vx3 2.5-8x36, 308 cut to 16 inches, suppressed, all up weighs 6 pounds. Beautifully light, cheap to shoot, no frills and not to expensive you have to worry about beating it up.

Not to push the OP in one direction or the other, but as you can see I own both a Bergara BA-13 and a Tikka and look at the difference in overall length. The barrel on the Bergara is 0.5 inch longer...
