Price seems good, but only $150 less than what they're going for online.

I'm sure it's a nice rifle, but I'd be concerned that a 16" barrel wouldn't take full advantage of that round. I'd need to look up ballistics but I have a feeling 18/20" would be better suited to a .308

Also, price out .308 these days - not cheap... like $0.50 per bang, if I'm going to spend that much, I want to take full advantage of the cartridge.

shooting my federal in my barrels...

20" - 2660 FPS
18" - 2630 FPS
16" - 2605 FPS

Advantage isn't that great for a 800 yard round for the 4" extra.... IMHO.

20" at 500 yards... -81"~
16" at 500 yards.... -85"~

I understand 4" is 4".... but... really it's only 4" at 500 yards...

EDIT: 168gr Federal Gold Medal Match
