A 308 Model 700 ADL is my Current Deer rifle. It is a 1965 rifle That is in a current ADL Synthetic stock with a Leupold VXIII 2.5-8x36 in Weaver Rings. Just spent 11 days Packing it for deer with Pleasure. Light, Handy, Plenty of range and Power For Deer. Load is 125gr Ballistic Tip over 51.5gr of W748. Light recoil devastating terminal effect. What is not to like about the 308?
