[QUOTE="Don A Parsons, post: 1578041, member: 97414"] My second rifle is another Remmy 308 SPS in 308 sporter,,, its still in the factory chassy and crappy trigger. I kept running across sales on them up here in Canada. $500 Cnd funds ,,, about $375 Usd. I have a Var-Tech composite stock sitting around and a spare Jewel trigger with safety. I might as well go this route after reading some threads on the simple things in life. All of my hunting stuff happens at 35 to 140 yards,,, it might be once in a blue moon that a 200 or 300 meter shot """might""" take place,,, no need for me to shoot past this in the game Harvesting world. I really enjoy the long range stuff,,, the 2 mile idea was playing havoc on me a few years ago ,,, but my gun Smith who is a long distance shooter him self shut me down on this... Ha. It's not that it's not fun,,, he said it costs alot to get into ,,, and the ammo costs """could""" get pricey... Machined 338 boolitz are pretty pricey up here in the North. He asked me a question that I still think about today. "What's not to like about shooting the 600 and 900 meter F Class stuff ,,, does it not offer enough challange pushing the maximum limits of my skills and rifle package... Goosh,,, I never thought of it that way. Yes,,, I do enjoy shooting the medium bore,,, I find it challanging to get those frugal boolitz close to the V ring,,, big Grin if I plant a few of them into the 5" circle. I like my 30/06,,, but I don't have all the supplies like my 308's,,, nor do I have a second unit like the Two 308's. It would be nice to do this with a different caliber and cartridge,,, but its to late in my middle age to change things up... The two 308's are Brand new and paided for along with all the supplies, and reloading equipment. Best bang for the buck is using what I have. The frugal side of life with a less is more idea.
