MuleyMadness Hunting Forums

My personal opinon...OUT FRIGGEN STANDING,this rifle was made for me,it is the first rifle I have owned or held that fits me out of the box,no alterations required.I topped it with a Bushnell Elite 10x with the mildot and target turrets,Harris swivel pod,Leupold 2 piece twist in base and rings.I Only got to shoot enough rounds tonight to get it zeroed at 100 and it was grouping VERY well,I put 5 shots in 1.5 inch with bulk FMJ off the hood of the truck before it was so dark I couldnt see the bullseye.It shoulders with ease,its light,the rubber inserts in the stock give me a rock solid grip for offhand shooting,the length is perfect,the action is smooth as teflon,the trigger is a bit heavy for me but that will be remedied tonight.I am seriously considering the mag conversion for 4 and 10 round magazines,I think it would be a nice addition to the tactical look and feel of the rifle as well as making PD hunting a blast 10X.This is my first 308 ,with the built in muzzle break its like shooting a 223,fun.I give it a 10/10 for a factory rifle and I am certian this will be a sub moa rifle with handloads,cant wait to get it bloody.

That's a great looking gun. It looks like a custom rig without paying the high custom price. Good luck with it. I'm sure it won't be long until first blood is drawn....

Wow, looks nice and mean too.

NONYA great looking gun congrat's and good luck to you.

Nonya, Great looking weapon. What type of loads are you thinking?

150 gr Barnes MRX at 2960fps = dead critters

That is one Bad looking rig.


AWESOME!!!

Good lookin rig.

Mil dots work well with 308 but if you really want to dial this puppy in you need to think about some custom turrets that are made specificly for you load and rifle for both windage and elevation.

Id rather use the dots for field work,I dont have time to figure moa before I make a shot on game,its not like sitting at the range when that big buck runs out over the top of a ridge,Im lucky if I have time to use the the range finder in most cases.I get my dots figured for 3,4,5,6 hundred yards and Im good to go.I was making 600 yard shots on elk before I ever owned a mildot,if you know your range and bullet drop you can make those shots,I have a drop chart written on the back of my scope so I can pull my head up off the scope and check my drop real quick.
