I'm starting to think about this myself, and my son is only 4 :LOL:. Have you looked at the Ruger American Compact? It's available in 308, 243, 7-08 and 6.5cm, all are around 6lbs and some come threaded. You can also buy the Compact stock separately and drop in any of the American actions. I...
I'm considering the 14'r (along with the shapecharge, and HPG Umlindi) but was steering away b/c I thought it would be too large to be a carry-on with the 23" stays. Nobody has ever given you a problem with it as a carry-on?

Another vote for the 29. I carry it in the Razco bino holster when in the mountains, and on my hip when I want to conceal or open carry. As stated, its nearly identical in size to the 19, but thicker. I put the Pearce grip extension on the mags and found that works really well. Have also...
I'm a size 13 AA and went through this myself a few years back when replacing my Danner Hood Winter Lights, which were a Narrow width, and ended up with the Kenetrek Mountain Extreme non-insulated in 13 M. I tried the Narrow but they were actually TOO narrow for me. With a liner sock and light...
