The 7mm-08 us a WAY more efficient round over .308, and a 16" 7mm-08 would be even better - less drop,flat shooting,more impact energy - than the 16" .308.

I built up a 16" .338 Fed as a pig gun, but I haven't been able to put it on any pigs yet. sweet build but im fairly sold on my 7mm, i already have way to many calibers as is, beside if i want to shoot as deer with a 338 ill use my edge ?

I'd go with Magpul's new offering on the bipod, at $110 it's unbeatable. This guy is good.... too good.... you getting kickbacks lol

I'm on the verge of doing this very build now myself....

For 300 yards?... You have so many options, for a 300-yard gun. All in the .308 parent-case. Pick what you want. Just make sure you pick up a decent 2-stage trigger. This ain't a bolt gun.

Armed Eye Doc Posted May 19, 2018 Report Posted May 19, 2018 Minimalist stocks are nice. I have one as do many others here.
300grPills Posted May 19, 2018 Author Report Posted May 19, 2018 also, will and BCG work or.... like this one for instance https://www.rainierarms.com/rainier-arms-308-bolt-carrier-group-dpms-sr-25-pattern/
Armed Eye Doc Posted May 19, 2018 Report Posted May 19, 2018 A Larue MBT trigger is also a nice option at less than half the price. https://www.larue.com/products/larue-tactical-mbt-2s-trigger/

Question is, what kind of quality are you looking for? You'll never beat a Geissele, ever. Many come close, and there are many alternatives, at lower price points. You'll never beat a LaRue MBT2S, at it's price point - no matter what you try to buy. You might wait for it, though, for months. I think it's still on sale for $99. That LaRue is directly comparable with a Geissele SSA trigger, and the Geissele SSA-E is a little better - but that's an additional $100, minimum, just for the SSA. We can talk triggers for hours, man. I've pretty much bought them all, over time - and still have them all, after all this time.

98Z5V Posted May 19, 2018 Report Posted May 19, 2018 ^^^ Exactly. We had a badass 308 BCG here with DWilson, but that dried up. There's no other place I'll ever look, for a 308 OR 556 BCG, than ToolCraft, ever again. My last two 6.5 Grendel BCGs were ToolCraft.
