My new deer slayer is getting close

.308? We all know that wont kill a deer anymore. They are immune to that cartridge. You may as well just stay home.
Seriously, though, nice looking rifle. Let us know how it shoots.

It's a thing of beauty.... even if it is in .308..(grin). Post it again when you get the scope on it. Love that Cerakote.....Buddy of mine had one of his Cerakoted and it's not only good looking but durable.

You still have a .308?

Kidding. That looks sweet. Well done!

I am one of the few that still really likes the .308 Win. I know it was never top of the heap for long range shooting, or anything else, but it still does everything pretty well and it has been there and done that for long enough to trust. Snazzy looking rifle. Know about what magnification and features you are looking for in optics?

Best not set that thing down to cross a fence row. Never find it again in the grass and leaves LOL.

The .308 doesn’t shoot flat enough you need the 6.5 creedmoor.

I still love me some .308

My Gunsite Scout in 308 is my favorite bolt rifle, and it’s much more accurate than I am.
Congrats on your great looking rifle!

@303 hunter we think alike it seems. Your affinity for the 6.8spc and you have a Ruger GSR. I have and love both.

How do you like the Game Warden?

Very nice. Good deer hunting rifle, right there.

Very nice!! Beautiful rifle !!

Love the way that turned out nature boy I hope I can have some nice rifles like you when I’m older!

My old FN SPR action, squared up, cerakoted
Bolt Knob conversion
Proof Carbon barrel chambered in that crappy, obsolete .308 win
McMillan Game Warden stock, pillar bedded

Now I need to decide on a scope

I would say why 308, but I have followed a lot of your posts on here.
I dig the stock.
What bullet are you planning on using?

I may have to copy your deer slayer!

Can’t wait to try some myself

Nice looking slayer. Still less obsolete than my useless 30-06 relic caliber.

"chambered in that crappy, obsolete .308 win"

You said it; not me. JK; beautiful rifle.

Man but I just got a .308! Dang looks like I need to chuck it now.

Don't chuck it. You just have to keep in mind that it will bounce right off anything larger than squirrels and is only good for target shooting out to 99 yards.

I have a box of those new Sierra Game Changers I’m anxious to try

Have not seen those before. Looks interesting.

I too would be interested in how those Gamechangers do, I haven’t seen those either. That rifle is sweet, you always have good plans with your bolt actions.
