I'm trying to decide which barrel/bolt combo to purchase for my desert tech sra m2 to go to training with, develope my shooting skills, attend some training courses, etc. I like 308 for it's availability but also like the idea of 300 win mag because I already have a 308. But then again having the dies and interchangeability of two rifles for one ammo source if I buy factory ammo is nice too. I have the 338 Norma barrel/bolt combo already but I want to get something for in the meantime between now and when I have the space to setup for reloading.
I have the ability to go out 500 yards at my club but I dream of acquiring enough skill to make hits out to the limits of the Norma mag's ability. I am currently saving up for the ZC527 scope. Thoughts?
I am thinking 308 and in the 26" length to match the weight and balance of the 338 barrel I ultimately want to master in the future. The shorter barrel might be better though for doing local matches (friendly, not going for trophies, just experience).
Any recommendations for training in Washington state or withing driving distance?
