in reply to the new 308mx...i thought long and hard.. i read everything + and- about the 308 mx. i bought one..i am very satisfied with the bullet as well as the rifle...it has to be the most accurate i have ever owned and has knock down power to spare. i own several 308 rifles,blr,remington,winchester.. i like them just fine.. but i have always loved the lever action marlin and just dont like a 30-30.. 35 is ok and i own both. you can say all the neg about the 308mx if you want,, try it first it is a performer and will be the first out of the safe everytime. ammo is not hard to find.. if you think it might be buy 2 boxes it sights easy and is accurate so you wont wast any. as far as reloading.. it will come.. so i say buy it
