I have thought about one as a factory ammo shooter as its available in my area. How is it on the shoulder for practice with 165-180gr pills? Seems a bit too light for me but tell me I am wrong and I might get one.
Calvin, I always shoot a variety of bullet weight's in my MT 308's, 150's, 165's, 180's, but I've only ever hunted with the 165's. Just has always struck me as the "natural" weight for the 308.
The 150's kick the same as 140's from the 7-08 MT
The 165's kick the same as 150's from the 7-08 MT
The 180's kick the same as 160's from the 7-08 MT
90% of my shooting is with the 165/168, and I don't find those bad at all, though they do get more "sporty" prone. 180's are stout, but not bad for a few shots. 150's are tame.
As I near 60 yo I dislike recoil more and more (plus I don't shoot much lately). However, with the above 500 yard group I went out and shot in my t-shirt, not having shot any centerfire for 2 mos. Recoil didn't even enter into it.
