[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2971803, member: 15054"] What is up with the 1:12 twist on that Remington .308. I got one of these the other day and i think there is an onlune 75 dollar rebate on it. [URL]http://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/savage-10pt-sr-308-winchester-bolt-action-rifle#repChildCatid=1320220[/URL] But when I hunt pipe line I grab my 30-06. It is about 150 fps faster with the same 155 gr. bullet. Little less drop at long distances and only about 1/4 moa less than the .308. But it does kick the snot out of ya. I have thought about the 6.5 it looks to have the advantage at long distances.. the .308 is just ok to me. and if you can't get in the upper accuracy node it will not work well compared to other rounds. My Lapua cases do not have enough volume for upper nodes with 168 gr bullets,, that is for my guns though,, all guns are different. I would grab a 300wm with a brake on it before i would get a .308 for long range shooting. 750+ yards like you stated You can punch paper and game way out with it. 500 and under,,.308 .223 .243 whatever you have just about. I got the above .308 because it is cheap and a good gun and can't get hurt on it. light and short fat barrel swings quick and easy and it is threaded. Too good to pass up. Shoots really well also. under MOA with a tasco scope. [/QUOTE]
