    Yep still got it, I rate it as a chambering even though I am a 6.5x55 slut. Many years ago a good mate wanted a low recoiling rifle for his teens to use. I couldn't get a 6 5x55 so got the 260...

    my thoughts are that under 300m it literally doesn't matter. past 300m I prefer 6.5 as I like the ballistics more, but if I spent time with .308 I'm sure I'd get used to it and be fine. I also have...

    Are you describing trigger creep or just a consistent trigger pull weight? I’ve got a trigger tech on my rem 700 build, best trigger ive ever had. Very nice

    My 16" 308 with suppressor is nicely balanced for shooting and carrying. It propels a 168 ELD-M at about 2550 fps and has taken animals out to 440 yards (further than I would normally shoot). The 16"...
