Today isn’t a national holiday, but it should be

I'm still waiting on the Vanguard Sporter I ordered a couple months ago. Of course the distributors are busy filling the big box store orders before they get around to sending mine to my small town LGS. Not like I need it right now, but they've been back on the available status on Weatherbys website for about a month now. I've got the scope, bases, and rings sitting here patiently waiting. Bunch of test ammo loaded, I'm hoping to get the call soon.

I had 2 custom rifles built that could have been chambered in any caliber under the sun.

I picked the .308 win. And why wouldn’t I? It’s the greatest cartridge ever devised by man.

I agree the world needs more .308 shooters, if nothing else so I can easily find brass to form; 6mmSLR, .260Rem and .358Win..

My wife would be bored to Death.
No way is she ever interested in gun chat (she studied Voice..."1/2" of a PhD)- even though her late father strolled into Hermann Goering's Bavarian Haus in May '45 and "liberated" a few of Hermann's handguns...but had no records of their provenance.

The furthest target I've ever tried to hit is a large metal plate at 500 yards. The friend's typical 1970's bolt-action .308 with a Vortex scope allowed me to hit the plate. The rifle is near-mint, came with the nice scope already sighted in when he received it as a gift from the widow of an older coworker at Fedex.
He hit the 500 gong twice.
You can't really see the plate without a scope, and the club's X.O. told us, because of the ammo box's info on a "5' drop at 500 yards (12x5), to raise the scope's index and put the lower "12" index on the gong.
Luckily it worked as he recommended.

I never owned a .308 until I won this one the NWTF calendar fundraiser.
