Ruger gunsight

I accidentally hit it twice. Anymore smartass remarks?

That was a long accident. Lol. 3 hours apart.

If it was I apologise.

But there's plenty of people who do repeat themselves in unreasonable time frames. That's why this forum is clogged up with so much useless crap that has to be waded through to get to the real info.
 
Does the 16" barrel thus make it fall into the 'Restricted' class. Puts it under 26" overall doesn't it ?

Most reviews I have read (over 15 of them) on the Ruger Gunsight Scout - most people say that they "wish the rifle was 18" like the Canada or Australian version" for the improved ballistics with the Rifling.

No way is it under 26".
My 22 rifle with a 14 inch barrel still measures nearly 33 inches. And the stock and action on this is much bigger. I bet it's about 37 total length without the flash hider.
 
But I was under the impression/belief that a barrel had to be 18" in Canada (generally) - I know the Rossi Ranch Hands are wee.

According to the Criminal Code, a restricted firearm is:

a handgun that is not a prohibited firearm,
a firearm that
is not a prohibited firearm,
has a barrel less than 470 mm in length, and
is capable of discharging centre-fire ammunition in a semi-automatic manner,
a firearm that is designed or adapted to be fired when reduced to a length of less than 660 mm by folding, telescoping or otherwise, or
a firearm of any other kind that is prescribed to be a restricted firearm
The Gunsite Scout is not semi-auto. As such, as long as the OAL in an operational capacity is not less than 26" you're good to go. This is why we can get 8" barrels for the Grizzly pump shotgun and they are still non-restricted.

I really can't see the ballistics being that different. Especially for this style of rifle.

I want the 16" for the threaded barrel.

Does anyone know if a lighter weight synthetic stock is available for this rifle?
Thanks for the info guys.
