[QUOTE="texan79, post: 542323, member: 24228"] My personal opinion is that 308 case is not ideal for the 200 and 208 gr bullets. I would look at the 175 on the heavy side for the 308 win. Depending on what your shooting, and your definition of long range, you may want to consider a different calibre. I love my 308, but limit it to 500 yds for game due to the ballistics. My 7 mag gets the work past 500. As far as the 24' barrel, it should be fine for that caliber. Again, dont get wrapped up in the name of that gun, there are other good choices out there for the same money. I would check the clasifieds here and see if you can find a deal on a semi custom build. (i just took a bath on mine) [/QUOTE]
