I guess the first question is can you shoot? The guy behind the trigger is 80% of it.

Re: accrecy from a .308

Stevens are more or less just Savages without Accutriggers. Yours probably has a sporter weight barrel correct?

If you can shoot, it should be a reasonably accurate hunting rifle with some loads. You may be fortunate enough to have one of those good-with-any-ammo rifles, with great three to four shot groups, but barrel heating will cause groups to open.

It should be a good value for what it is.

To the OP-Nosler 168's should do you fine.

It's a relatively thinner, lighter barrel, typically found on hunting rifles, rather than the thicker tubes found on varmint or target rifles that are fired for longer strings of fire.

They usually taper from a breach diameter of roughly 1" to about 1/2" at the muzzle.

That would also be a great business mission statement, chapter heading or signature line!

Shouldn't <span style="font-style: italic">shud</span> be spelled with two <span style="font-style: italic">u</span>'s?
