[QUOTE="veriest1, post: 542420, member: 17414"] Couldn't agree more. The 308 will be for practice and hunting out to mid range. After that I'll be swapping barrels and bolt face to 338 edge. Lotsa learning on my part between now and then though. The only thing I'm sold on right now is the savage action. I like the feel and my Savage 17 hmr shoots sub MOA so I feel pretty good about them. I just want to play with the heavy bullets for punching holes in paper and learning. I want to work out or at least 1000 yards on paper. Assuming the gun likes them the 180 grain Nosler will probably be my hunting load since I've already got quite a few. I like the Savage 10fp well enough and can get one for about $600. That'd give me some money to put toward a few mods. But it'd just be stuff already done to the LRH and the LRH gives me a bit more. Found he LRH for 766 shipped to an ffl. I guess what it comes down to is I'm kicking around the best off the shelf or semi custom Savage .308 for my money. I'd like to keep the gun under $1000 before adding a second barrel into the mix.
