If you want to kill all the birds with one stone: a lab, but specifically a pointing lab. They exist. I’ve had labs my entire life as family dogs and hunting partners. We have two at the moment. One has english/conformation lines. He’s a very handsome gentle giant. Loves water, loves love...

That’s the consensus ^ lol at chasing targets 😅. Remember kids, it’s home defense, not home offense.

But this is a strange topic indeed.

except the subsonic 308 likely wouldn’t cycle reliably, and the 300BO would, assuming it was set up properly.

Also, 18” of 308 is going to make 1k a bit tougher vs a longer barrel. Would have to pull up the calculator but I’m guessing that a 175MK bullet starts to transition at 800 yards near sea level out of an 18” barrel. Specific powder charge dependent.

You’re giving too much hassle to 4” of barrel length. I hike miles up and down mountains with a 26” magnum rifle. Sometimes it even has a suppressor on the end. The suppressor kinda sucks when the snow is deep, but without it on I don’t even notice. When it’s slung properly you wouldn’t know...

Btw, a thousand yards isn’t just something you “try”. That would be like “trying” out 315 # on the bench when you haven’t been to a gym in a while. You’ll most likely pile a lot of projectiles into the dirt if you just casually want to shoot 1k. Being competent at that distance is an endeavor.

whatever you shoot at 300 yards would be equally as dead with either cartridge. Practically speaking, no difference. Lmk if you want me to geek out on the finer ballistic details.

The second “nice” rifle I bought was a JP in 6.5G. I wouldn’t sway anyone away from this manufacturer. If you want/are able to only ever shoot 600 yards, and want a 308 and I’ll be happy for you. At that distance it literally doesn’t matter what short action cartridge you use, provided the other...

homeboy assumes that scar 16 I own is the only rifle I have? I’m on snipershide (not ARF) Bc I’m a LR guy first and foremost.

false.I didn’t say it was a better long range gun than a jp10. I said it’s the only semi auto 308 I’d own over a 6.5 semi auto. Let me spell it out. If I HAD TO HAVE A 308 semi auto, I choose scar 17 with a precision barrel and super scar trigger. If I am buying a JP 10? I’m getting one with the...

Scars of any flavor are literally my favorite semi auto rifles ever. As i mentioned in my first post, if SCAR is the reason you have 308 as your lr toy, disregard all my poo poo on the that cartridge. I run a suppressed 16 (should be able to find some 5.56 in those farm houses once I’ve shot up...

6.5cm isn’t the end all be all for long range. I use that caliber as example Bc OP said he might want to shoot 1k and It’s similarly priced to 175 fgmm, widely available, and better ballistically in every single way. if We’re talking surplus ammo as a priority, then we’re also not talking about...

You’re not shooting an 18” 308 JP unsupported any more accurately than an unsupported 22” 6.5. in fact, you’re not shooting ANY gun accurately while unsupported, past...a hundred MAYBE 200 yards.

Shooting free throws = shooting at 600 yards (or any range where your bullet is still supersonic) . I’m talking about shooting deep 3’s (or past the range where your 308 is no longer super sonic). If you wonder why people say it’s “so hard” take your 308 and your ballistic calculator and figure...

The deer in the woods was a real life example of a man in your house. Any magnification indoors is no good, unless you’ve spent a lot of time behind an acog and can shoot both eyes open like it’s the job the US Govt is paying you for.

The 308 doesn’t make anything any more dead than a 6.5CM would, at any range. If the proverbial shit were ever to actually hit the proverbial fan grab your favorite Chinese AK, a few cans of 7.62x39 and go full Rambo until the drones get you. The drones WILL get you, if something in the water...

While I won’t apologize, I will say I didn’t intend to butt hurt all the 308 only rifle shooters that might read this. You’re probably dead eye Dick with your 308, but just be honest with yourselves. If it’s windy (when is it not?) you’d be an even more dead eye’d Dick with a faster, higher BC...

Just because you can hit a man size target at 1k with a 10x doesn’t mean that’s all you should want. Ok got that part out of the way. You ever golfed? Know anything about golf? What you’re trying to do is play a round of golf with a 5 wood. Why? Why would you do that? It’s not like a full set...

They put ti in people's bodies, for life. It eats up the mills that try to machine it. When up against a chro-mo bolt, it's the not the ti that galls....idk. Just some talking points. I have a pierce ti action. It's incredible
