What Action For a .308

[powdahound76]

Also, if you want a sub 1/2 MOA prefit, call Ern at Altus.

I have more than 1 for my Origins and am constantly tickled with .2 groups.

My local smith is really great, but doesnt do prefits.
No action missing for a while is a huge plus for me!

Thanks for the kind words. Sometimes you need to reload to hit that accuracy guarantee.

Recent 7prc head scratching caused by Hornady "match grade" ammo.........

.308 will have 5X the barrel life a 6 Creedmoor will and probably double what a 6.5 Creedmoor does. Not interested in prefits to pull a barrel once a year and ruin the bedding, I'm not building a chassis rifle and I don't care to wait 8-9 months on a barrel. So getting 5k rds on a barrel is high on the list.

This is correct. 308 over creedmoor every time. If you are the guy who is happy replacing his barrel every year or two to dial less for drop, skip the creed and get a 6.5 PRC.

OPs been waiting almost a year and half for his insight . Thank god he was JUST about to give up.

I love .308, and I love the Zermatt Origin. That would be my "easy button" choice.

Neither are a mistake.

Not unless you shoot PRS and it has to be American or Austrian to be good

It turned out just fine. Short and sweet, resembling an XM3 but on a BAT Bumblebee.

Pic of the rifle and final load zeroed at 100 yards with 10 shots of 185 Berger Jugg. Couldn't ask for more.
