I'd buy it ONLY if the rifle is on a '98 Mauser action. There were and are a whole bunch of '95 based actions converted to a lower pressure cartridge that was dimesionaly identical to the 7.62x51 NATO/.308 Winchester, but operates at a lower pressure. People have been argueing both sides since they started being imported again back in the late 1980s. Me? I don't feel comfortable shooting 52,000 PSI cartridges from a rifle designed for 45,000 PSI cartridges.
