I recently aquired a bolt action rifle. It's a Mossberg Model 800AL chambered in .308WIN. It shoots great, but I need to find some better ammo for it. I've tried Rem Core Lokt at 160gr with fairly good results, but I should be able to get something a little better without going to reloads. I don't have the equipment for that.
I went to the Mossberg website and contacted them about this gun....gave them the serial number and all. The lady told me that this gun was manufactured in 1969. Back then Mossberg still made rifles. Each rifle was put together by one person, from start to finish at one table. Kind neat. ANyone else out there ever own/shoot a Mossberg rifle?
Im actually taking one to the range tomorrow also chambered in 308 im sighting it in for my friend who ill be hunting with on a coue's deer hunt in a week or so. my buddy doesnt have the time to sight in his rifle, so I offered to do it for him id hate for him to take a improperly sighted rifle on our hunt we've waited for all year long. anyway I have no clue what to expect im bringing 3 types of ammo with me 150 grain remington core lokts, 150 grain PMP soft points and my personal hunting handloads using 165 grain sierra bthp GK's id try just incase. whichever group the best I will sight the gun with. My rem m700 in 308 shoots both factory brands pretty well and is sighted in with the handloads, well I have my fingers crossed that I will have the desired results with atleast one of the loads. after tomorrows range time I will post again with hopefully some nice targets to show. wish me luck
