The magazine is probably worth $100 bucks. I don't think it will work with .308. the magazine in his picture isn't worth $0.10 to anyone who's tried one.
They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

No worries. Rifle has been shipped and I have no doubts it's gonna come back as a pig killing machine.

Back in the 90's, a friend of mine had a 760 or 7600 re-barreled to .25-06 Rem by one of the more well-known 'smiths or barrel shops at that time - somebody like E. R. Shaw or Douglas. The barrel was stainless, medium contour (like #3), and 26 inches. It was very accurate. He was the crop depredation control officer in our county then, and that was his weapon of choice. He was phenomenally successful with that rifle, often shooting out to around 600 yds, if necessary. He killed hundreds of deer and quite a few hogs/pigs every year with it. He always carried at least six magazines with him when he was working.
Point of the story is that you should end up with a pig killing machine (or Amish machine gun) that you'll be happy with.
Bring enough gun and know how to use it.
Know that it is not the knowing, nor the talking, nor the reading man, but the doing man, that at last will be found the happiest man. - Thomas Brooks (1608-1680)

The last one I messed with with a friend bought on close out. We cut the barrel to 16", modified the stock to a straight grip like a shotgun. 2 1/2 Leupold scope in low mounts. He had a crop depreciation permit and I think he killed over 100 deer the first year he had it. No idea how many by now. It was in 35Rem.

Crop depreciation? Look that one up.
