[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 783671, member: 35183"] A 110 is a long action. Not needed for a 308 but needed for a 30-06. If you get a model 10 308, I would first see how it does with the factory barrel. The factory twist rates for the 308 are fine, it will allow you to shoot pretty much anything you can load and accuracy is usually good once you get stock bedding and barrel free floating sorted out. Of course if it has a skinny sporter barrel you still may want to test it, but obviously you will get more reliable results then with a "proper" varmint contour 26" barrel. It is the 223's and 243's which do not have adequate twist rates to shoot decent bullets. The models 10's sold with some heavy contour barrels and if you get one of those you may be set for a while. You will like that scope. I just got the same one (my second Vortex FFP) this week. [/QUOTE]
