Pleasure to meet you all. I'm a (soon-to-be) Savage owner from Texas; I've been shooting action pistol and military rifle for a while in the Garand/M1A division. A few weeks ago I decided to begin construction on a .308 bolt rifle to shoot long-ish range. I've settled on .308 even though there are arguably better choices out there, because of four reasons:
1) My "big" guns are now all 30 caliber, so I'm not currently interested in stocking components for 6/6.5MM
2) I have dies, powder, brass etc. from shooting my M1A, even though they'll have a slightly different load
3) I can readily purchase factory ammo if needed
4) I plan to take this rifle hunting at some point
I'll use the forumsearch tool to narrow down my model, but expect opinion questions.
Thanks!
