Had a Ruger tang 308 for years back when I owned just two rifles. Shot great and I killed a load of deer with it using the 165 gr Hornady. I turned it into a 250 AI for one of my then young son's. I own two 8x57's, both Mauser open sighted pieces. One went along to Africa a few years ago using the 180 gr BT. Worked fine out of the little carbine. The one on the right.
