Very nice. It resembles a fancier version of the Springfield Armory Model "T". A bull barrel target model build for long range matches, released though the CMP. I wonder if G&H used those as a basis, or built from scratch. The T models were made from 24 through 1929, I think.

Realistically its 75 yardsish behind the 308. Adjust accordingly. Not much to worry about.

A lever 30-30 sounds perfect. Consider also how easily a slab sided lever gun carries in hand.

I wonder if many found that although they could buy the gear, actually doing it was harder.

You will be able to push a 200 gr Hornady pretty fast with 4895, Tac. More than enough for deer and black bear.

.22 in a accurate bolt rifle. .358 Winchester in a BLR or 99. 338 Winchester in a Rigby Custom.

I have had a .308 since 81. Sub moa, carries nice. Also a .358 of the same vintage for a few years. Same accuracy. The triggers take some effort. The .308 has broken in over time. I would recommend them.

I would think $550 to$650 with the scope. Would be a great rifle. In the end its worth what you want to pay.

Good to see new life brought to old abused guns.

.358 Winchester. 225's are great Elk medicine.

Fouled Bore I don't give it long at the bench. I would guess three shots in a couple of minutes. At that point the barrel is warm and I set it down and shoot something else.

My .308 BLR shoots 3/4 " groups with Sierra 165 gr boattails, Reloader 15 near max, Fed 210, Federal cases. 3 shot groups. Barrel heats up fast and strings high right with 5 shots.
