Thanks Cuz.

Sounds like an awesome show.

have to make sure I tebo it. lol

looks like the .308 is a popular choice for snipers.....good all around round?

effective range of a 308 is 800 yards. after that it loses to much energy to be effective at killing. not saying it wont but most people dont take kill shots after 800 with it. anything before 800 is dead in its tracks. 308 ballistics arent all crazy like other hot rounds but the short case with the 30 cal bullet is one of the most accurate. and recoil is low making it easier to shoot and concentrate more on the shot and not the recoil
