I have a CMMG piston rifle in 223 that runs great. In 308 the only piston guns I have had are FAL pattern rifles. They all worked fine and had adjustable gas systems. Right now the only piston guns I have is are AK's.
This is why the dems spent millions on the last election in Va. My friend Dutch that ran for state Senate spent about $50,000 on the race. The dems spent half a million on his opponent. for a job that pays $18,000 a year.
My 12 in Grendel pistol claimed it's first victim. 186 yds she took 2 steps and fell over. Hornady Black eld's did a great job.
There is nothing wrong with the hind legs that is just blood from field dressing her.
The big thing about the round is the straight walled cartridge. Some states in the east won't let you use a bottled neck cartridge to deer hunt. Have a friend in NE Ohio that is using the legend to hunt with. He likes it. I don't think I need one
My dad has a Winchester 94 in 45 colt. Recoil is not bad at all till we get to some handloads or the Corbon +P 300 gr stuff. He has killed deer and hogs with it. At 50 yds or less the 250gr lead cowboy loads should knock a deer over and not kick much at all. Till my Dad shot some of those corbon's he didn't think the rifle kicked at all. 300 gr at 1400fps.
I'm not in a big hurry. I do have the upper,rail,and adjustable gas block. No lower yet but I do have everything else to comepleat another pistol. If we can get a group buy on these tubes and save some money that would be good.
Leopold 1.5x4 firedot, 20moa Nikon mount, 2 gun cases, barrel nut wrench I didn't have, forward assist plugs, linear comps for 308, new phone cables,,case etc. Been an expensive week.
