308Daze

"Big ship yard on the great lakes" My Dad use to work at one, (pipe fitter) the owner moved it to Fla too, this guy also owned a baseball team outta NY. Dad moved on to a big 3 auto maker. They too have been sending jobs out of the country. I know, I work for the same co. A lot of quality issues with parts coming south of the border. I watch daily as they tear down one of the largest foundrys. It is a large pile of scrap iron now. Jobs gone that will never come back. Before that I built injection molding machines, a lot of machines went s of the border. Next thing ya know a large, local co closed and sent their rubber maid jobs there too. If no one is working in this country, who can pay taxes, buy cars, afford ammo and a day at the range? I'm not in the union but my wages and bennys are what they are because of them, my hat is off. It is sad to see jobs that made us, us, leave.

Hello Brothers! I'm Tom, new to this forum. Found it while trying to make up my mind on a 308. My first AR was compliments of the US Army. While I stationed in Panama I attended M60 gunners school. (My first intro to the 308) When I got out, I bought Colt HBAR 5.56 and a case of ammo. Soon after, my hunting and shooting buddy moved outta town. My Ol Colt became a closet queen for 18 yrs. (booo... I know..I know) I still hunted but something was missing. Well my old buddy is back in town and all of a sudden he is REALLY into the AR platform. Says its my fault, ever since I bought that HBAR he has wanted one. Two months later he has 3 and now I feel like I'm falling behind. You all know what I mean. :cookoo: I'm stuck, I can not decide on a 308. I really like the POF, well from what I read. I haven't gotten to fire one. I want to shoot hogs, deer, paper. .5 moa sounds nice but I'm not sure I'm that steady any more...and 3K is pricey... I apologize for rambling on...
