Ruger American Compact Rifle
Available in 308, 7mm-08, 243. 18" barrel.
I'm sure it's the same action as the American Rifle. What would be the advantage of a shorter barrel? Would hinder ballistics?

Not enough to notice unless we're talking magnums.
Going to be a little louder.

shorter barrel = louder. the ballistic changes are negligible

I remember something about the .308 having tumbling problems out of a short barrel; it was a complaint with the M1A scout or something.
high chance it wouldn't affect the average shooter though

BIL has got one in the .308 & it shoots really well & since it is short the women & kids are able to handle them better
