BTW, the day ain't over yet! ya! GWB That is the deal of the day. That is well below what should be asked for it. drover 223 Rem, my favorite cartridge - you can't argue with truckloads of dead PD's and gophers. 24hourcampfire.com - The site where there is a problem for every solution.

I've yet to know a person who has a .308 and they dislike them. Take care Randy NRA Patriot Life Benefactor

Oakster Campfire Tracker O Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 4,116 Wyoming	Originally Posted by Ky221 I’m on the search for a new hunting rifle and the CRF 308 thread got me thinking that a 308 would do everything I need a deer and pig rifle to do. I’m just having a hard time making my mind up as to which rifle. If you were wanting a .308 for still hunting whitetail, box blind pigs and banging steel at the range and not being limited to CRF; what would you choose? How would you scope it, and what bullet would you choose for the 3 tasks? I’m leaning towards a Tikka and 165NBTS Tikka T3x in a Superlight configuration would be my starting spot.

Never heard much except praise for the lvsf. Very well. My son's 7mm-08 shoots great, too.

Mine is the CF version with a fluted stainless barrel and an easy to grip stock. It's topped with a Leupold VX5 2-10 that has a fantastic field of view at 2x. The rifle is light, weather resistant, easy to carry and very accurate. The stock appearance is a little weird but it didn't take me long to get over that.

Please PM me any .308 you wish to sell and I'll help you unload the danged thing. Mercy ceases to be a virtue when it enables further injustice. -Brent Weeks ~Molɔ̀ːn Labé Skýla~

It will hold .75 with FGM168 for 5 shots in its factory configuration.
