Quote HistoryQuoted: Just got an update on my order. Backordered for a year. Was offered a 30-06 expert. I'm planning on waiting it out. If you don't have a Garand already I would take the 30.06. I expect when they run out of receivers from the Philippines stash Garands will be scarce at CMP |

Me too, that sucks I was told that they ran out of .308 barrels and that it would be a year.
I don’t quite get that, I guess Criterion ran out? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yep. If it's similar to the one I bought 7-8 years ago, it's basically a brand new rifle. Mine had a new barrel and stock, and all the parts looked brand new as well, with no rust or pitting at all. Shoots great, lots more ammo available than the 30/06 model (just don't use steel case ammo in it - mine had a broken case that I needed my smith to remove), and is a great piece of history. I have a service grade(.30-06) that looks like the current "expert grade"-new wood, GI barrel well within specs for a new barrel, new park. Biggest flaw in the whole rifle is a weaker heel stamp than one that hasn't been refinished(but all marings are still very readable). I wouldn't take $1000 for it. So if you want one in .308, yes it's worth the price. |

You have to figure .308 barrels were a short run item per year and with CMP offering that model they went through existing stocks. |
