“.308”

The new B14 Series Bergara Match Precision (BMP) Chassis Rifle from Bergara Rifles is chambered in both the .308 Winchester and the 6.5 Creedmoor, and is made for long-range shooting and hunting.

Sporting threaded-and-capped barrels in 1/2-28 TPI for all blued calibers, as well as stainless offerings in .308 Winchester and 6.5 Creedmoor, the Howa 1500 Gen. 2 GamePro offers a setup for any shooter.

In 1939, the .308 Win. had not been invented yet, and it would be 23 more years before anyone heard of the Remington Model 700. However, 1939 was the year Remington would change hunting history with the introduction of the Core-Lokt.

With its 18-inch barrel and available .308 Winchester chambering, this compact powerhouse delivers everything you need to ethically harvest medium-sized game in a package that is easy to sling across the handlebars of your ATV.

Savage Arms jumped into the AR market this year with four new guns, two of which are for big-game hunters. The Savage MSR 10 Hunter and MSR 10 Long Range are built on a custom-size platform similar to the AR-10 and designed for cartridges in the .308 Win. class.

Built around the Remington 700 Chassis system, the new short-action Model 700 CP is a lightweight bolt-action handgun designed for hunting. Chambered in .223 Rem., .300 AAC Blackout and .308 Win., it has an overall length of just 21.75 inches in its longest version and features an M-LOK handguard, Magpul MIAD pistol grip and 10-round magazine.

Give an American a handy, accurate, magazine-fed bolt gun in a caliber like .308 Win. and he can do many things, including win battles, defend castles, take deer and wild pigs, and have a blast dinging targets nearly as far as he can see. Keep it under $700, too? Mossberg is onto something.

Hunters have so many good choices in mid-priced binoculars these days that arguing brands is as pointless as engaging in the ol’ .308 vs. .30-06 debate. The crowded and competitive nature of the $300-$800 bino market is a great thing for buyers—but not necessarily sellers. And so when I heard a new company named Styrka had entered the business, I had to question its approach. What more could Styrka offer in a bino with a street price of about $650 that’s not already available?

DPMS President Randy Luth used one of his company’s AR-10 offerings, a Panther LR-260L chambered in .260 Rem., to make a 330-yard shot on his sheep hunt.
