    recommendation for a new 308 long range bolt action

    I'm sure your right about Bergara but I personally don't know anyone who owns one non of the local gun shops have one in stock so that's a blind alley for me Tikka on the other hand is a known rifle I know people who own them I've shot them there in the stores there owned by Sako and Beretta so...

    New cartridge for US military

    well lets see too powerful the FN Fal was carried by a whole lot of people for a lot of years and is still being used around the world so maybe the US Army should just man up I have my doubts that the 556 will penatrate armore at long range better than the 762 be that as it may an unproven case...

    New cartridge for US military

    too heavy ok by how much same size case one brass one brass and steel one 277 the other 308 one battle proven the other not all ammo companies produce the 308 the other no one does billions and billions and billions of rounds on hand the other no one has seems like a no brainer to me I'm all for...

    New cartridge for US military

    well never cared for the 556 any way but if memory serves the 7.62 will defeat body armor pretty well and we and NATO probably have billions and billions of it on hand it doesn't need a special case and will get the job done seems to me that would be the most cost effective way to go buy a new...

    What's Wrong With a Beretta 92 FS?

    If you had a choice, what LONG RANGE caliber would you choose

    for me it's the old bland 308 does a fair job ammo is easy to find and fairly reasonable to buy. I own a Reminton vtr in 308 that's glass bedded that will shoot with most 6.5 creedmores out to 500 yards that's about the farthest distance I've been able to shoot it. with Sierra matchking bulletts...
