I was taught to hunt like they were hunting you….and could shoot back.
I guess for the same reason some people like pants that are made with an inseam shorter than 32", or footwear under size 9?It all seriousness, how would an adult benefit from a compact rifle unless all their rifles have short LOP?

Fantastic!RSS strikes again!
The 14YO boy's Christmas gift got put to use today at last, after a busy few weeks following the holiday season.
.223 T3x Compact, SM rings, 6x SWFA.
77SMK seconds, 24.0 TAC bulk (thrown charges) load I run in my AR. Zero "load development" for this rifle.

4 round boresight, adjusted and he shot 5-14 out of the rifle for this group. Slipped turrets, and went to 380, 528, and 774. He was easily over 90% hits on 2MOA targets once we trued velocity at 774. He is in love, like completely smitten. 10x more confidence after one trip with this setup vs his 7mm-08 (despite mechanical accuracy being very close between the two). Calling his own hits before the sound came back from the steel and grinning ear to ear, and I was happy to let him shoot lots at .40ish CPR vs $1 per.
No photos or video, I was busy RO'ing for him and his 9YO brother.
Oh and thanks @Formidilosus, @PNWGATOR, @hereinaz and a few others who gave me the nudge I needed to make the switch for him.

Nope, bare muzzle for now. I only have one can (this is going to change as soon as possible), so his younger siblings get priority on that.Fantastic!
You have a can on this gun?
Great work getting your son off to a positive start! What velocity did the truing indicate?RSS strikes again!

Have that thing outfitted with a can.Nope, bare muzzle for now. I only have one can (this is going to change as soon as possible), so his younger siblings get priority on that.
The rifle and scope upgrade was a big enough stretch as it is, so he can live without a can for a while .
2675. Magnetospeed battery was dead, it'll be interesting to see what it chrono's. Trued velocity is almost exactly what my 18" AR runs that load.Great work getting your son off to a positive start! What velocity did the truing indicate?
Thanks. When you do have an opportunity to chronograph it, please let us know.2675. Magnetospeed battery was dead, it'll be interesting to see what it chrono's. Trued velocity is almost exactly what my 18" AR runs that load.
Easy day.2675. Magnetospeed battery was dead, it'll be interesting to see what it chrono's. Trued velocity is almost exactly what my 18" AR runs that load.
Which one do you recommend?Have that thing outfitted with a can.
Literally a marked improvement over what you’ve already assembled.
Please, start the process and screw one on. It makes a difference!
Tons of good options out there, I only have 2 at the moment, silencerco omega 30 and a CGS Hyperion K. Without a doubt for the smaller calibers I like the Hyperion more. Little shorter and lighter and sounds awesome even on the 16.5” 223.Which one do you recommend?
Thanks, that is helpful. I was looking at that CGS and the hux flow 762. Both look nice but the hux isn't a direct mount. I was also debating getting a 556 and a 762 or just a 762 since it will work on everything.Tons of good options out there, I only have 2 at the moment, silencerco omega 30 and a CGS Hyperion K.

The Tikka compact comes with a spacer so it can be a standard LOP rifle as well. And the compacts have a 20" barrel from the factory which is a handy length out of the box if folks don't intend to cut/thread.It all seriousness, how would an adult benefit from a compact rifle unless all their rifles have short LOP?
