[QUOTE="winmag, post: 407032, member: 22166"] I dont know about now a days, but Winchester and Browning were the only 2 rifles that had a chrome bore when the 223wssm came out. The ''blow torching'' effect a.k.a. major throat erosion was a big problemb with other manufacturers in barrel burner cartriges such as the wssm family, and namely the 223wssm. Browning even offered two different twist rates in thier 223wssm. Anyhow, the 308 is not a ''barrel burner'' in any sense of the word, so I doubt it would be a problemb with a 308. Just my research on C-Z before I bought a rifle for varmints. Im a Winchester freak anyhow and thats what I wound up with. But the C-Z was comfy, and had a neat trigger. I just got spooked by the lack of the propper barrel for the ''whiz-bangers''. Maybe the issue is completely non-existant concerning the caliber in question, but I threw my findings from my research out there anyway as a precautionary measure for someone looking at buying a new rifle. It never hurts to have more info/knowledge before you make up your own mind on your choice of firearm manufacturer, model, claiber, cartrige etc. Every little bit helps. [/QUOTE]
