That’s a beauty in an interesting caliber. I bet it hammers boars.

A Garand Tanker in .308 or that other caliber would work, too. Just sayin.'

Nice rifle, Fluffy.

Welcome back! Nice gun, but it’s not an M1.

Why the 8x57JRS?

Under most circumstances the .30-06 is a better cartridge. Unless you want to use a short barrel.

The 8x57JRS has a superior expansion ratio which means you lose very little when you use a short barrel.

From a 20 to 21 inch barrel you can easily exceed 2500 fps with a 200 grain bullet. And it will only take 45 grains of H-4895 to get you there. The recoil is also much less than you might expect.

So for a short barrelled powerhouse, you might want to pick the 8x57.

Nicer than mine... I'm just using a 308 Steyr Scout. 130gr TTSX at 2850.

What's it say on the right chamber? For Alberta?

Very nice, I usually just use a .357 or 12ga. Cheap and they work.
