[QUOTE="NesikaChad, post: 323167, member: 7449"] I don't care for H/S Precision's rifle stocks because I don't like cookie cutter cast aluminum bedding blocks. I like rifles that are built to order and my philosophy is that if a rifle is truly purpose built for the customer then it should be treated as an individual during construction. An H/S stock is akin to a sport jacket bought at Sears. I'd like to think a custom tailored suit is more of the side I gravitate towards. I don't mean to sound aristocratic or stuck up, only to emphasize that I feel/think a custom gun should have some personal identity. The "lowly" 308. . . It's a great cartridge. In fact it's so great the powers that be have been hosting an international competition since the late 1800's. The 308 wasn't adopted as the "official" round until sometime in the 70's. It's been the standard cartridge ever since. It's called PALMA; iron site prone shooting from 800, 900, and 1000 yards using a 155 grain 30 caliber bullet loaded in 308 Winchester. No rests, bi-pods or other "widgits" are allowed. For the team events the ammunition is supplied by the country hosting the event. The world championships are held every four years like the olympics, although the two have no relationship. I was an armorer for the US Team in 2003. We won a silver that year in Bisley, England.
