I was up last nigth just searching on the computer and i found this. To me it looks interesting but I dont know how well it woudl preform. I will take all the information I can get. If I were to get something like this I would shoot it up to 500 yards. Ya know just have fun with it.

Asscott, there are a couple of guys down around Wilmington, N C that shoot this rifle in .308. They say that they group well and seem to be happy with them. I have never shot with either one of these guys. I'll just have to take their word for it. Bill

A buddy of mine has one in the 308 that I've shot and it will shoot federal factory around 1/2 inch.

Theres one listed on gun broker in 308,but 2 grand would go a long way towards a custom action,barrel and stock.

Yea man, that is the thing about those rifles. Big money for a factory rifle. Course, from what I have heard they shoot good groups. Bill

 

[Asscott4]

Hrm right on. Would you guys recommend one in a .308 or a .300WSM? Thanks again....

 

[billmo]

Well, I guess if I were going to spend the money for one, I'd go ahead and get the big horsepower, WSM. Just my opinion. Bill

Id vote 300WSM with 210s,just because I love throwing them out of my 300SAUM.

 

[Asscott4]

Cool cool. how fast can you push 210'S with a .300WSM? Prolly around 2700-2900fps? Thanks again....

Depends on your rifle.The 300wsm has a little more capacity than the saum and I cant speak for a factory chamber.Ive got a 300saum sendero with a 27" Lilja 1-11" 3 grv throated for 180s,effectively making it a single shot with the factory magazine.Ive had the 210s up to 2825 with H414,but found my accuracy load with H4350 at a little over 2700.Thats kinda the pisser of a factory gun,you dont really know what your getting chamber wise until you buy it.

Heh yes sir that is correct...
