Thread: Resurgence of interest in the old "Three Oh"?

Spent the afternoon sighting in the old .303 . Absolutely stoked the way the 106 year old girl shoots. Averaged 3 inch, 3-shot groups at 100 yards when I did my job correctly, and even a couple of 2 inch groups! And that was using PPU ammo too. I found that the PPU wasn't as accurate in my 308 as the Sako Gamehead

It would probably do better with a more accomplished shooter as my shooting ability is always the weakest link in the chain. For me, the lack of a cheek weld is the hardest thing to overcome.

The Nikon Buckmaster scope was problematical. It holds zero, but it's click adjustments aren't as accurate as I'd like. When I start reloading for the rifle I'll probably replace the scope. I have a Bushnell Elite 3-8x on my 308 and an Elite 2.5-10x on the 223 and their adjustments are reliable. So I'll keep my eye out for a suitable 3-9x
