    308 or 6.5 Grendel

    I am a fan of the Grendel also. My 16 inch AA shoots .25 at a 100 with Hornady 123 Amax. I would like to have a NASTY 24 inch bolt gun in the Grendel beastie. The Grendel is the most accurate caliber I have owned. I would think with a 24 inch tube the accuracy would be fine to a 1000. Working...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex 6-24x50 pst good for Bench rest ?

    Re: Vortex 6-24x50 pst good for Bench rest ? I was thinking about one of these also for my .308. I can't decide between the 4x14 ffp or the 6x24 ffp. I think I would like the extra magnification of the 6x24. I want to look through both before I decide....

    Gibbs 1903A4 reproduction eval *second range day*

    Re: Gibbs 1903A4 reproduction eval *Limited range day* As far as accuracy goes I guess I got lucky with my O3A3. I can shoot 1/2 inch groups at 100. With good handloads, I have shot 10 shots, as fast as I could shoot, with a group of a little over 2 inches at a 100. I hit a coyote in west Tx...

    30'06 versus .308

    Re: 30'06 versus .308 Thanks everyone for the information. I really like this forum! I have shot handloads through my old Springfield 03-A3 many times. To be such an old rifle(made in 12 of 43) it is incredibly accurate. The Timney trigger has a 1 1/2 lb. pull. It has been glass bedded and...

    30'06 versus .308

    I know the Military replaced the 30'06 in the fifties with the .308. Question, if you had two new GAP Crusader rifles with the same barrel length, one in .308 the other in 30'06 would there be a huge difference in accuracy in the two rifles out to a 1000 yards? I am guessing it boils down to the...
