The Ruger American Compact in .308 Winchester with 16.5-inch barrel provides adult-caliber performance in a youth-dimensioned package, serving both younger hunters and smaller-framed adults who prefer reduced stock dimensions. The .308 Win chamber retains full hunting capability while the compact stock and shorter barrel reduce overall weight and swing weight. Many adult female hunters prefer the compact's dimensions to full-size stocks. The Power Bedding maintains accuracy despite the shortened barrel.
