Who likes carbines?

Short answer, IMO yes. Great all round setup.

I’ve found the difference between my 22” 308’s and my 18” 308’s averages 100-150fps slower when shooting 165gr loads. Which in my opinion is bugger all.

Thanks. Gonna really consider it..
 
Does a 20.5-inch barrel qualify?

I've got a 1955 Husqvarna lightweight in 7x57 that is just abut the sweetest rifle to carry around that you've ever seen.
 
Carbines....

I like 'em. :cool:

I just picked up a Ruger m77 RSI 243 from the EE. These are great little classic carbines. The perfect stocking rifle for deer in this cartridge. Short , light and well balanced, Bill ruger did a fine job on design with the RSI series. I prefer the tang safety to the newer mkll models. The small bolt mounted safety on the mkll is not as instinctive as the thumb safety is on the tang Imo. Bill had the right idea with the standard m77 stock design as well but unlike the RSI models the stock was a little heavy and clunky.
 
I have 13 lever actions with 11 of them being carbines. Looking at a Savage 99 250 Savage carbine in 250-3000
I also have 5 full stocked rifles; Ruger RSI's, a lh Sako L691 carbine, and a custom lh Ruger 77 in 376 Steyr (although they finished the barrel at 21", and I did not mind as it balances very well for me, and they checked with me before cutting to my original spec of 20")

If you would only keep one carbine which one would it be?
 
Black rifles are not really my thing, and this one is only black"ish"... it's traditional rifle similarities are the only reason that I can tolerate it in my safe... it arrived yesterday, and I am quite impressed with the quality and features per "buying dollar." I have 2K of bulk Blazer ammo in from Trade-Ex and will give it a good workout this week, along with a pair of 9mm pistols, in an SR9 and 1911.
 
Here are few other of my favourite carbines, some gone some still here;

Oops... one non-carbine picture slipped in there... disregard.

Please let us know how it goes with the little ruger. I'm contemplating one myself.
