I am thinking about buying a bolt-action 308 fun/plinking rifle(no hunting). Either a Ruger, Savage or Tikka probably. I have a lot of surplus NATO 7.62x51 from Portugal. It shot well in an AR-10 and a Saiga. Any reason not to use this ammo in a bolt-action rifle? I did have a tough extract problem one time using milsurp ammo in a Reminton 788 but I think that was due to using belted/machine-gun surplus ammo. Has anyone used similar ammo in a bolt-action? TIA for any input.
