Tyla 3,179 Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 As above, I have an open slot for a 308 and been tempted by one of these. Has anyone shot one or had and experience of one? Thanks Quote Link to post
Sausagedog 7,381 Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 No sorry but I do envy you. I've always had a soft spot for these type of rifles and I love 308. Would you go for the 20" barrel? I know I would. Quote Link to post

I'm torn between the longer range of the 20 and the handling of the 16.5 1 Quote Link to post
Sausagedog 7,381 Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 I wouldn't be to fussed about a large can. A small one would do me. Or one that comes back. I personally would have to be able to shoot it offhand in a pinch. That is just me. Hope you get one Quote Link to post

Expand Thats good to hear. How do you find the accuracy, build quality, finish, etc? Quote Link to post
KimE 487 Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 It has a tight action , light and crisp trigger ,the stock and fore end sits firmly against the action. The stock are hmm plastic ( its my first syntetic) it still feels nice to hold then shooting, my has thumbhole grip so i have to take out my thumb to cock it. The trigger are light and crisp, the rifle feels like a proper gun then you hold it not like the minigun it looks like. Accuracy has been mixed some bullets bad groups and other it shoots well so now I have 3-4 good loads but other just acceptable for plinking on short range. The action has a thin finish which already has some marks on it. You are welcome to come and try it I have some sierra 110gr varmint loads for Beaver. Quote Link to post
