Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles New build complete, 308

Finally got all the parts together to complete the 308 build, I already have a 308 so I wanted this one to be a bit different - it is, but not by much. I like the 308 simply because it works, is easy to shoot and ammo is affordable and readily available. I've experimented with lots of cartridges over the years - last count of reloading dies before I started selling them off was 33 - but these days I don't have as much time to handload and buying expensive and hard to find ammo - think Weatherby here - is no longer interesting to me.

Not that I'm totally stuck in the 1950s, I do have a 6.5 CM and 7PRC but those, along with my 308s as well as the classic 70s in the safe in 7mm RM, 270 Win and 30-06, I'm hard pressed to experiment with other.
