RE: .308 Question
The geat thing about the 308 is that most of them shoot great right from the box. No fancy frills or expensive options needed. My Browning A-Bolt shoots 1/2 inch from the box with Corlokts or almost anything else I have shot in it. This may not be a typical from the box rifle buts its close to a typical 308. Its never shot anything at more than one inch MOA. Thats not Bench rest accuaracy but its darn sure hunting rifle accuracy. I have never even tried working on a accuracy load for this one. Just shoot it and enjoy it. The only trouble is, its an A-Bolt synthetic light weight Stalker and it delivers plenty of punch ON BOTH ends.[:@]
This one has had the trigger done by a friend who does wonders with Browning triggers and he has it set at about one lb. Its really lighter than I wanted in a cold climate like ND. With any kind of gloves, I never feel the trigger until it goes bang. This is the best shooting rifle that I currently own. It will shoot 1/2 inch or better 3 shot groups every time out. I can bank on that.
