Good to see the old .308 strong in this thread. With all the ‘new calibres’ around the .308 still stands tall for knock down power and ammo availability. Im a fan as an all rounder as well. I have...

I'm going to add to my reply - it's not just wooden boats that require maintenance, all boats require maintenance period full stop drop mike. It's just what type of maintenance and how early you get...
