    308 win to much?

    Re: 308 win to much? Thanks nfoley, I'm considering it. It would certainly be cheaper to go down that route. I currently have some money to kill which is why I'm entertaining the idea of a barrel swap. But like you stated i could save some of that money and put it towards more shooting. I'm...

    308 win to much?

    Re: 308 win to much? Johnny I like to think i will shoot a couple of matches, but Im really not sure. In that case could I have a thread cap to be able to shoot in a match? On a different note does anyone here varmint hunt with a 260? Right now im using a 223 at around 250 yards. I haven't...

    308 win to much?

    Re: 308 win to much? It sounds like i need to rebarrel to a 6mm or 6.5mm. But would i be sacrificing anything other than how loud the gun is with a brake?

    308 win to much?

    Re: 308 win to much? Thanks guys. In regards to a brake. I know they reduce recoil at the expense of being load, but are there any other pros or cons? Submoa i will look into those palma contours.

    308 win to much?

    Re: 308 win to much? Thanks guy. Shootinsurveyor I agree with you. It can be a little more than uncomfortable at times, usually later in the day, and it shows in my groups. Fdkay, that is good info to know. My current load uses is a relatively hot load with 155 palmas. Barrel life is a...

    308 win to much?

    I picked up an sps tac about 3 months ago and have been shooting it like crazy. I dropped it in an H&S pst-025 stock and recently topped it off with a nice bushnell elite tactical scope. I also got into reloading because I'm a semi broke college student (i have a job that supports my shooting...

    Gunsmithing Action screws

    I just purchased a used H-S PST-026 from a local shooter for my 700 tac. He did not include any actions screws so I thought the ones holding the action to the hogue stock would work. The rear screw works but the front does not. Does anyone know if H-S sells mounting hardware? If not does anyone...

    Potential Mauser Build

    Hey all I recently picked up an already sporterized gewehr 98. The bolt knob has been re-welded to accommodate scopes, the receiver has been drilled and tapped, the action has been bedded, and the stock has been re-contoured. I got the gun cheap so no matter what decision i make it wont hurt the...
