Yip post 200
16" 308
Stug was $600 new
@GWH how do you find it cut to 15". Tryna buy the 308 on the forum but in 'negotiations' with the wife.
Yeah its great, balanced really nicely and comes up well. I'm running 140 NBT'S at 2720 now (had been running 120's but the heavier pill carries more energy out a bit further)Quote:

It's nice and short overall and easy pushing thru the scrub.
308 is even less effected by the shorter barrel.
Oh and I find its best not to involve the wife in these things. [emoji6]

I'd say stick with the 165gr nbt's and flag the BarnesQuote:

Yes, That's what I'm expecting to have happen. But I since discovered a 2 pack Epoxy product that will be like a B&C stock. Trying to decide if I stripe it back now, or wait.....Quote:

Anyone want to swap their Mod 7 saum or 260 for a Sako 85 in 260?
I have both in model 7...but shoot 260AI so if you want a Stug stocked, fluted bolt (from memory) 260 Model 7 let me know. It is stupid light.Quote:

Ha, I have both in mod 7 too. The saum will never go, and can't bring myself to part with the 260 either even tho it's right at the back of safe and hasn't been used for ages. Thinking it'd be good for the kids in a few years.Quote:

Yep I bought the 260 for the kids and put a Stug stock on it. They use a 223 :( I will never part with the model 7 7mm08 - shoots 0.250" groups with 120gn BTs.
Are you saying you want a Sako?Quote:
