[QUOTE="catorres1, post: 1012624, member: 80699"] Spitball away, it's helpful! Your first comment about the ballistics is very helpful. I see the component availability as a very strong point. This gun is strictly for shooting targets long range and the purpose of that is because the barrel on the 300 will heat up too fast for all day class shooting. I once said to someone, it's almost like being a 22 for me in that it's a substitute trainer....hence my desire for a near identical stock and trigger. So if everyone agrees that the difference in the drift characteristics makes no difference, and that the 308 is sufficient for 1k in this context (no competition or anything), then this is probably the way to go. In the future, I can always have it rebarreled to 260, I suppose, if I get more serious in the target shooting sense. But for now, it's just a 'fun gun' and substitute trainer. To put it another way, i's entire purpose is to make me a better shooter of the 300. So it should feel the same, work the same etc...if at all possible....and allow me to practie with high volume where the 300 won't allow me to do so...all for the sake of being a better shot when I am hunting with the 300.
