Contemplating building a gun on this calibur or maybe even buying one right out. Built by Bruce Baer in Pennsylvania. Any information or experience would be helpful.
Anyone have any experience with .308 BAER?

Certainly have heard of it, Bruce set records using it years ago.
As for caliber, there are many different .308 designs that could be used.
Why the interest in just that one?

Im sure most have heard of it. Basically a .300 Wby Imp/.300 Ack Mag/.300 AMU. All of them full length improved .300 H&Hs. Used to and still do dominate the 1000yd BR comps for the most part. 6mmbr has a great article on it. Though I wish they would delve deeper into the pre-Krag blackpowder metallic match cartridges used, ie .44-70, .44-90, .45-70, .45-90, .45-100, .45-110, .45-120, .50-90, etc. Otherwise a must read:

Are you planning on competing in BR?

I had a 308 Baer benchrest competition rifle, and made a hunting rifle with the same reamer so I could use my old match brass for hunting. I have shot a lot of game with it and really like the round.
As noted, there are many versions of the 300 Wby improved case. I did a lot of research over 10 years ago, and the 308 Baer seemed to be the best design out there.
