Spoon Fight!
 

I'm debating my next spoon. I've decided that I want something in .308.

I had my eye on a Savage 10BA. I have a few bolt-action rimfire rifles and I enjoy shooting them immensely. I was thinking that it would be fun to get into back-bench shooting, but I know nothing about precision distance shooting.

I had my eye on a Savage 10BA, but then I saw a Rock River LAR-8. I know, completely different kind of spoon, but it seems like it would be fun as well, and I wouldn't need to learn a new skill to enjoy it.

They are pretty close in price to each other, but in the short-term I'll need to pick just one.

RR LAR-8 is nice. 308 a great round.

For what a LAR-8 costs, I'd rather get a well built FAL from a kit and DCI receiver.


(and teh LAR-8 uses FAL mags anyway)

Fal, ftw!

FAL != precision distance shooting.

WTF are you guys smoking?

This is going to be my next one, for long distance plinking.

Find an inexpensive K98 Mauser with an action that isn't worn. Have a new heavier .308 barrel put on and have a local gunsmith make you a nice maple stock. Have the barrel bedded well. Unique, accurate, dependable firearm.

i have been looking at the K31's, lately. same bullet as the .308, pretty much the same round in terms of ballistics. and you can get one for under $300, wicked accurate, usually well maintained.

Alright. Rereading and bringing accuracy back into play don't go semi auto...

Savage F/TR in 308. Spend good money on the scope. And reloading equipment.

If'n you aren't stuck on a 308, I may be able to swing a deal on a TRG in 338 Lapua from a buddy of mine... he got 2 a while ago and while one sold, the other has been gathering dust on his shelf...

I was saying get a .308 bolt-action for precision shooting OR an LAR-8 for heavy-duty plinking.

I try to stick to milsurp calibers to keep shooting costs down. .338 Lapua is pretty expensive to shoot. (Yes, I know some military snipers use it, but it isn't used widely enough used to bring costs down.) .50 BMG is a cheaper caliber to shoot.

reload. ~.50 round for .338 LM, if you have the brass.

LOL so true. But I shoot a .50 BMG, so I'm hardly one to talk.
