Wow almost on the 4th Page!
I like my 30 caliber in a 7.62x39.
But .308 is excellent too.
I like to be familiar with the enemy's weapons.
4th page?? Where? We're just on #2 here?
I had a post ban Romanian built Kalashnikov 7.62x39 a few years back but I finally sold it. In fact, I've got about 200 rounds of that ammo on the shelf. That "post ban" model would only take an inline 10 round magazine. I put the military stock and stuff on it in compliance with BATF rules but that mag issue was one that I couldn't easily resolve so I sold it.
The craze now is an AR15 that's configured with a sub sonic round called a 300AAC blackout, 7.62x35. It's a real heavy sub sonic 30cal using a 220/240gr bullet with a silencer on it. Friend of mine built one and plans to deer hunt with it this fall. He's real curious as to how the deer will react to that muffled sound.
RE: LR308? One of the major down sides of this one is the recoil from that 308 Winchester load. I chronographed mine at 2705FPS using some surplus NATO ammo and it's not something you want to shoot a lot. Bought a box of regular 150gr Winchester 308 soft points for hunting and they chronoed at 2813 and kick even harder.
Ennywho, I guess this is enough gun stuff. Funny, seems I hijacked my own thread!
