Does anyone see 308 cases being less attainable in the future. At the local shops I've seen bags of 06 cases but the 308 is gone. I hope its not a sign of things to come
I'm about to purchase a bolt action rifle for hunting and was wondering about the availability of 308 versus 30-06 as far as reloads supplies go. I have a m1a already so I was going to stick with 308 but with all thats going on I'm not seeing much as far as 308 is concerned out there. Has either...
Ok I actually got my hands on a LTR and a scale and checked the weight along with a VTR 308, sps 700 30-06 and a cdl 30-06 with a wood stock.
LTR 20" 308 just under 7-1/2 lbs
CDL 700 24" 30-06 7-1/2 lbs
SPS 700 24" 30-06 synthetic stock 6-5/8 lbs
VTR 700 308 almost 8 lbs...
Lauer had there standard lower lcw15 going for $110 a few months back. Not the "superior". They have the serial numbers running into the lip were the mags enter. The standard ones don't do that. I would take one of those. I know a few retails that were pissed about the pricing. I know someone...
The xcr is a good amount more than the ltr from what I remember. I'd like to see one to give me a better idea of what the ltr might weigh since I'm having trouble finding a ltr in person. But I don't think I would spend the money on one. It's either the ltr or the cheaper 700 sps 24"
The xcr I think is about the same size and weight but with an upgraded finish. Don't know about the trigger. I was told they all come now with the new triggers. I assumed the 700 sps 308 24" listing of 7-1/4 was accurate but I shouldn't assume anything about there numbers. If there is actually...
Thanks Dryhumor and MyRoad, I appreciate it. Sounds like the rifle is around the 9 lb. range. I've been looking to pick up a 700 bolt action and been leaning to a sps 308 but I can't get that LTR out of my mind. I like the question you pose MyRoad about owning one bolt action which applies to me.

Is a bipod part of your attachments? Thanks also for the reply. There was one at the local gun shop about six months back but its gone now and I can't find one to get my hands on.
Could someone tell me the actual weight of a remington 700P LTR 308 with a 20" barrel?
Remington lists it at 7-1/2 lbs. I just don't believe that. I held one a while back and I loved it. I would buy one if its something I could take out in the hills for hunting. I think 7-1/2 pounds is...
