What im getting at is if you are fairly new to shooting then @Max Headroom 's suggestion to shoot a lot of smaller stuff first to develop good shooting habits etc is a good one.

I understand your concern mate, and ive taken this into consideration. I am buying a .223 in the very near future following maxs advice. Cheers bro

And put a surpressor on your .308 your ears will thank you.

Did you put any loctite on the screws from base to action?
I have had some of them come loose before. If you do notice your point of impact ever moves just check that and add some then.

You can also bed them with some araldite. Use the clear one. If you need to remove them just use a bit of heat.
