lets see your thick bush guns!

I'm going to try this shorty this year.

I'll keep the ranges short......

The advantage is ruger dropped the ball on their magazine design and capacity. If there was a kit that put the AICS magazine in the original stock that would be perfect, although then I would have left the brake on or filled the stock anyways to compensate for taking it off. The LSS adds roughly a pound

Not trying to flame here, but I don't see those big mags as an advantage. One does not need high capacity in a real world bush hunting situation. They are large and take away the "one handed carry" option that would be an important feature in a bush gun. In short, the whole set up looks to be quite uncomfortable to carry all day long, esp if walking was in the cards. I'm not a big lever gun guy, but one of the things that made a 94 so popular was that it was light, fast and easy to carry in one hand.

What does it weigh as pictured?

Mine is the same, it has a VX iii 1.5-5 on it. The 760 carbine in 308 seems to be rare as there are many carbines in 06 out there but the 308 seems far and few between

All the carbines are rare-ish. Truth be told .... A rifle cut down to 20" is a better size for handling than the carbine and a lot easier to find.

It is more the function of the mag than capacity, if you see an American ranch in 450 have a look at it, see how it functions (more like how it doesn't)

You can buy different size AICS magazines btw
 
SuperCub I have one Magpul Hunter stocked Rem 700 in 223 that I have extended 10 round mags for.

I have to say I was surprised that the extended mag actually enables me to have a very good one handed carry position.

I'm thinking it is just a matter of getting used to the slightly different carry technique needed.
 
Packed my stainless 21" barreled T/C Contender carbine in 375JDJ loaded with 260gr Accubonds @ 2300fps while hunting the thick bush this last weekend.
