.308 Winchester Still Has It

[Jud96]

Check out this group I fired tonight at 100 yards with my Dad's old Remington 700 Varmint Special with Leupold 6.5-20x40 Target scope. Those 3 shots measure 0.067" center to center. Calipers pictured show 0.375 outside to outside. This old rifle and cartridge can still shoot some incredible groups. This is my personal best group I've ever shot at 100 yards!

Rather impressive group.

I shoot a lot more of 6.5 variants, but I always have a .308 handy. A cartridge doesn't stop being effective because another is marketed well.
Great group.

Great Group! I have been shooting my 308 Howa 1500 heavy barrel for over 20 years with 165 and 168 grain H.P. and S.P. Speer and Hornady bullets and it never fails to perform well. I have no need to try these new 6 MM, 6.5 creadmore rounds. I am perfectly happy with my tried and true 308!

Great group, and yes the .308 never lost it....contrary to popular belief as Holycity73 said newer and better is in the eyes of the marketer.I have the fast twist 6mm and 6.5mm and long after their barrels are toast I will still be shooting my .308. A rifle pic is required internet rules

 

[ShtrRdy]

That's awesome!! You're a good shooter too.

Thanks guys! I've shot a lot of good groups before, but nothing close to this. I'll try to get a picture of the rifle this evening. It looks as good as it shoots!

I have a 700 LTR 20" Barrel.....never did a thing to it except adjust the 40x trigger a bit tighten the action screws to HS spec... Shoot H-4895 and a 168 Speer in a Lapua case over a Fed 210 primer..... gun is boring accurate!!! Shoots just under a inch at 300 every time if I do my part......this gun always amazes me

The older Remington 700 BDL Varmint rifle is one of a kind, I've owned many of them over the years in many different calibers and they all shot extremally well right out of the box. Great group, with a super cartridge and rifle combo. Cheer's
