Last post by codger - December 03, 2023, 11:38:30 AMQuote from: Jamie.270 on December 03, 2023, 08:27:30 AMSo, is this a .308Win?Yes it's a 308.
You don't mention the caliber so I'm just guessing here,...
I'm glad to read it's shooting well. Getting it to shoot as good as it looks could be a tall order
I have just ordered a better scope for it.. SPINA HD 4-16x44 Long Eye Relief Hunting Tactical 1/4MOA Riflescope Airsoft Optical Sight Sniper Shooting Scope Fit .5.56.308etc - AliExpress I have discovered how good adjustable parallax is

Last post by Jamie.270 - December 03, 2023, 08:38:41 AMBTW, There's a fella here that can extol the virtues of 125gr slugs in the .308 cartridge for hours if you give him a little encouragement.
Mebbe he'll chime in here, if he's not busy packing for a trip to Mizzou.

Last post by codger - December 03, 2023, 02:24:22 AMI have been told that Z = 1974, so it's 49 years old.
The only bad thing about the rifle was the stock inletting, it was total crap. I have now bedded the action and floated the barrel, it's shooting great now. 44 grains of 4064 under a 150 grain bullet is a moa load, as is the same charge under a 125 grain bullet. I'm very happy
The trigger is nice, there is a tiny bit of predictable creep before it breaks cleanly at 3lb 4 oz. I will not be doing anything to it.
The only thing that still needs attention is the rock hard butt pad,
