My Savage 308 donor action......now a 6.5 Creedmoor.

That’s not yours, unless you bought a strap on man bun.👶

I liked handgun hunting with my T/C Encore, 15 inch barrel in 308. Shot a whitetail over by Ridgerats and dropped dead in it's tracks.

Great truck/ window pistol. 🙃

I don’t know. I’m more of the cover it A-Z type of guy. Don’t like to be involved with any type of self induced “Handi-Cap”.

Hmmmmmmm 2750fps with a 168? Or 3225fps with a 162?

Decisions.. Decisions?

I’m deer hunting with a .308 this year for the first time ever. Why not?
Just don’t make a habit of it or guys will start thinkn ur old......  :chuckle:
Maybe those old guys know something we don't? Lol! Like the 308 kills just as good as it has for years...maybe some like the newer whiz bang rounds, hoping it will make them more successful hunters i imagine. Doesn't work😉
But a 308 will obviously make anybody a more successful hunter! Because science and facts and stuff.  :chuckle:

One of many problems with a manbun is you can only hunt with alphabet guns - Creedmoor, Grendel, AR, AK, Blackout, etc.

All the cool kids may scoff at the .308 now, but they probably cut their teeth on it.

It's a bread and butter gun, you'll shoot it and shoot it and shoot it and eventually you'll want something sexier -but not out of necessity - but because all those aforementioned "cool kids" will all be say'n "oh, you got a .308 huh....why?" and if you aren't fully secure in your manhood you'll be buying some flavor of the month gun in a chambering you'll never find in a walmart.

 :chuckle: :chuckle: thats awesome KF

I've shot deer, elk and a bear with a .308.  Ammo is always available, it hits where I am aiming, it puts holes in stuff and stuff with a hole in it dies. :tup:
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

When he’s running a 7-08 is when we know it’s all over.

Would a 7-08 pistol with a 15” barrel be better? That’s all I got in that chambering.

I believe Rainer Arms sells them. Look it up of Killer Innovations website. They're expensive.....MSRP is $850 I think.  They are made in Tumwater/Olympia.

MDT are the other chassis on my 6.5's.
