Re: your .308, I understand the collectors' disdain for the clip-fed 99s, but SHOOTERS should really look at them when considering a new 99. I've had two and both were extremely accurate by any hunter standard. Kept the .243 because of its versatility, but the .308 was just as accurate. A purist could re-stock them to his heart's desire and get rid of all the Californications. Personally I don't mind 'em. (But then, I now live in the LA/LB/SD/TJ slurb....).
