.308

Hi All, I have just ordered some Leupold Mauser mounts for my .308 Parker Hale, and had a quick look at a video guide (I think by Leupold) which said you can use Loctite on the screws, but they recommend no loctite, but gun oil instead. This seems counter-productive, as surely we are looking to...

Hi all Love to camp hunt and fish! Am trying out a .308 CF2, having a bit of problem with trigger mechanism, bolt does not want to release to come out after much hunting around would like to thank this site for having a diagram of the trigger mechanism, thanks! I also love to re load .310...

Hi Everyone I have been a member of the Stalking directory for some months, but it slipped my mind to do the intro....apologies. I grew up in SA so stalked extensively on friends and relatives farms from the age of about 12. I stalked mainly bushveld and plains antelope (with some wingshooting...

Hi, just in the process of applying for the fac. i want a .308 for target and occasional paid deer stalks, but I heard that I may need to apply for 7.62x51 if I want to buy mil surprise ammo, is this true? also I would at some point like to have a cheap mosin nagant, therefore would I need to...

Dear All, i have an Issue! I have recently acquired an 1942 M39 B Barrel Finnish Nagant. I have found out through slugging the bore that it's calibre is .3095 give or take a thou. Lee reloading die is made for 7.62x54r Russian, which has a decapper/expanding pin indexed from .308. Firstly...

Hey guys, in the last year I have brought a Browning X-Bolt in .308 with a Schmidt & Bender scope. At first I had problems zeroing my rifle I later found out that this was caused by poor machining of the scope bases what come with the x-bolt. After having replacement mounts I was able to zero...

Hi All, Thinking about a .30 rifle for use in the UK and possibly abroad. Initially was thinking .308 was the best choice but have been reading about the .30-06 and am now a little confused. Can I ask those who have used these caliber what their opinions are as to why they chose their...

Hi, Want to know if by putting a sound moderator on my rifle how much will this effect the point of aim? Cheers Rhys

Hello All! I was hoping that someone could point me in the right direction to find a new thread cap for my .308 Sauer 202!? Its driving me mad trying to find one! I bust out the micrometer the other day and I believe the threads are M14, however all the thread caps online seem to be only from...

Hi all, I currently have a .243 but am just in the process of getting my variation through for a long range deer & close range boar calibre (having just joined a syndicate). I had decided on a .308 over a 30-06, for no other reason than the ammo is easier to get here and I hear the recoil is...

I know this has been talked about but my questions are slightly different... The .243 appears to have a better BC than the .308 when comparing a 100gn .243 to a 150gn .308 (which seems to be the norm for each respective calibre) - this said, then why do so many people recommend upping to a .308...

Hello All, I have joined today, and pretty much a forum virgin so I'm looking forward to getting involved. I have been a shooter all my life, shotgun and air rifle, but only started stalking in 2009 when I also took and passed my DSC1 - the shooting part of the DSC1 was the first time I had...

Greetings, I'm in front of this dilemma ...after a long wait finally I’m in position to buy a new rifle. I found a SIG SHR 970 Match (second hand) at same price with a new Howa Model 1500 Varmint stainless (Hogue Full Length Aluminium Bedding Block stock) both in .308, heavy barrel.... I...

Hi folks, Facing the first rain here for nearly six weeks, it seems the appropriate time to ask for your help. I have trawled the Internet but have not found any conclusive answers. Some of us are "fair weather" Stalkers whilst others are out on the hill in all weathers. My question is how...

Hi all, Can I ask for your wisdom please... I have a Meopta ZD 3-12x50 w/ ballistic turrets which feature twin vertical scales- a) distance (in 25m intervals from 100-425m) based on .308 168gr and b) clicks (.5 MOA)- my preference is for the distance scale utilised alongside a range finder. I...

Hi, researching on deer hunting in the UK send me here! Looking forward to learn more.
