This rifle caught my eye. What will I lose in a 16.5 barrel in 308. I been wanting a compact bolt gun. I have a FN spra1 in 308 .SO keeping it in 308 would be nice. Opinions welcomed . Wardawg

The weight is what I'm kinda aiming for. You don't want to carry my FN SPR A1 around. She is a extremely accurate rifle but weighs a ton. I was thinking medium range rifle, short and handy.Like I stated keeping it in .308 would benefit me being I have that in a long range rifle already.WD

I have had one for a few years that I hunt with. I like it a lot but would like to put a new stock on it when I have the money. I haven’t looked into what would be a good replacement. I ultimately want to keep it more of a woods gun than benchrest.

Sweet. When is the return date expected? Are DNZ one piece mounts strong enough for .308 ? I'm wanting strong mount set up but would like to keep weight in check when possible .Cheers Wardawg
