[QUOTE="NomadPilot, post: 435036, member: 19896"] I had/have a 308 and like the short action. I wanted less recoil for playing at the range, I wanted less wind drift and drop to learn the long range game (although some might say learning with a 308 will make you better), and I wanted something that had factory ammo available and was easy to reload for, as I'm learning that, too. Zak Smith's articles played a large part in my decision, too. I haven't load developed yet. I'm shooting the factory ammo I had for it right now. I can't seem to get better than about .7 MOA, and I really think the rifle is capable of better. I'm not convinced [I]I[/I] am, which is frustrating in and of itself. I'll start with a ladder test in the next couple weeks using Norma brass and 140 SMKs. I've got no regrets so far on the build, the components, or the choice of Jim See. Now I just gotta learn to drive the thing. :D [/QUOTE]
