He was shooting a Remington 5R in .308. After he got used to that is got behind my .408 and shot it like a champ!!!

So is he going to skip the 308 for a first build and jump right to the 408?

I'm sure he would and I know Vestal's Custom Rifle would build him one just like mine!!! I recommended he start with something a little more economically minded.
