    Tell me about m59 ammunition

    Its a load of .308 and my guess is it was the original 7.62 round adopted by our military? Imagine it was more optimized for the original T48 rifle

    Seekins hit for a beginner

    Hi all, I'm looking at buying a seekins hit in 308 for target, hunting, and entry level long range training. I plan on topping it with a nightforce atacr 5-25x56 f1, or a vortex razor gen 3. Any experience with this rig? I don't want this thread to go to far down the rabbit hole so please stay...

    Looking for budget precision rifle, savage 110 elite precision?

    Hi all, I've done a bit of precision shooting but it was with friends rifles and not my own. I'm mostly a handgun shooter and reloader chasing perfect groups. I'm in the market for an "entry level" precision rifle that's accurate as heck. I've been eyeballing the savage 110 elite precision. I...

    “New” Remington 788 Owner; Need Ur Info!

    So I recently acquired a Remington 788 in .308, manufactured in the 70’s, barely used. Paid $650 for it. Blueing and bore is pristine. Unfortunately, mine did not have the earlier walnut stock, but the later birch stock. The finish on the stock was horrible, and the wood was khaki light. I...

    Atlas works bottom metal

    https://atlasworxs.com/shop/atlasworxs-bottom-metal-dbm-aics-howa-1500-weatherby-vanguard-sa/ I’m curious if anyone has any experience with these? Legacy has one, so does mdt, but if I can use a more “universal” mag instead of something proprietary, I’d like it better.

    My “precisionish sorta kinda” build is officially started.

    I asked about colors from boyds awhile back. (Link to that thread below) And since enough people were kind enough to provide information and input, I thought I would share a little more about the project. https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/color-choice-for-boyd’s-stock.915610/ These...

    Quick Review: Zastava M77 "Battleworn"

    I recently got one of the newly imported Zastava M77 PAP in .308. I believe this is their new "Battleworn" model. There isn't much info out there on these yet. It came equipped with a slant-brake and a set of nice beech furniture modeled after the famous M76 furniture. The slant brake was...

    Barrel Length vs Burn Rate.

    I have two rifles that I’m feeding. Both are 308 Winchester. Both are 1:10 twist rate. Both are bolt action. But one of them (mine) has a 26” barrel. The other (my brothers) is an 18” barrel. I’m wondering if more velocity could be gained by using a bit faster powder in the shorter barrel. I’m...

    Color choice for Boyd’s Stock

    I’m putting a new stock on my Howa 308. I’ve narrowed it down to 2 choices. This one is called pepper. This is forest camo or something like that. Im a visual person, and I wondered if anyone had either of these on something and would be willing to share a photo so I can get a better idea...

    What is the general consensus on MDT Chassis?

    A few years ago when I joined here, I wanted to do a rifle build. Savage Axis XP II in 7mm08 with a MDT LSS chassis for hunting. Instead I bought a Marlin 336 stainless .30-30. No idea how I went from one side to the other. Love the rifle, despite the flaws of a newer built Remlin. Now I want to...

    Just out of curiosity, are their any 03 rifles that have been rechambered and/or originally chambered in .308?

    .308 165gr Accubond vs medium-small hog

    I shot this eater-size pig at 130yds. He walked across the clearing when I was not ready, but then came back grazing and gave me another opportunity. I'm thinking I need to stand at the ready more even though it can be less comfortable waiting 4-6hrs at a time. If I'd been ready the whole time I...

    Twist rate on a 16 inch PTR 91 SC model?

    I just got a PTR 91 squad carbine model with the 16 inch fluted bull barrel and I'm not sure the twist rate on it. None of that information came with the gun as far as I know. I tried looking it up. I believe the 18 inch barrels have a 1 in 12 twist and the 16 inch barrels have a 1 in 10 twist...

    PTR 91 SN question

    SN of the PTR 91 I'm looking at buying is AW22XXX. Heard there were some serial numbers that should be avoided. Not sure if this one is safe. It's a PTR 91 sc with a 16 inch fluted barrel

    What .308 Winchester load would have the closest trajectory to the 8x57 JS Military load?

    I have this old FN Mauser 98 large ring receiver and I'm thinking about putting a .308 Winchester barrel on it that has the same contour on it as the K98k so I can use K98k sights on it. I would put a sporter stock on it. Obviously I can't propel a 196 gr bullet at around 2650 fps in .308.
