[QUOTE="el matador, post: 1250001, member: 12193"] I recently put together a couple of .308 rifles for a friend of mine. Both were Rem 700 5Rs and both shoot under 1/2 moa with factory ammo. The 24" gun likes Federal GMM 175 grain and the 20" gun likes the 168 grain loads. I like to reload but sometimes its nice to just buy ammo and shoot! The .308 match ammo is only about $20/box. Recoil is very light from the heavy 24" barrel. Also, hitting a rock with a 168 grain bullet is more fun than with a 129 grain :D [/QUOTE]
