Been following a buddy around who's on the hunt for a M88 .308 in reasonable condition. Saw two in a shop yesterday and both look like they'd been drug behind a car.
Also, the bores on both seemed like a scattergun. Not sure what they did for rifling back then, but you could hardly see any rifling. We checked his M100 for comparison, and it didn't look a lot better....however, it's a 2MOA rifle after the forend bedding we did.
Here's my question: If he ends up buying a "project" M88 in, say, 308 or 243, has anyone gone to the bother of reboring out to .358" (358 Win)? Problem is reboring cost on top of what are seemingly really high current prices.
