Thread: Favorite .308 rifle?

Welcome @Joe Bob Briggs.
I've got two 308's - Omark 44 single shot target rifle, converted to F/TR for 300-1000yds targets.
Second one is a Parker Hale Safari deLuxe - oldie but a goodie.
I reload for both and they shoot better than I can - even though the target rifle barrel was last shortened/reset in 1994, by Mike Collings of NZ.
There is some 'sensitivity' here to the incremental removal of firearms from law abiding, licensed firearms owners by Gov't's since 1898, when the first Arms Control Act was made law.
The recent event in Christchurch has triggered some hastily cobbled together additional controls by the current Gov't, under extreme pressure and misrepresentation from the current anti-gun Police Management.
This has increased the sense of vulnerability that ALL law abiding licensed firearms owners/users, while the criminal/gang community seem to have escaped without any additional resources being activated to achieve removal of firearms/increased punishment from those outside the law.
A 2A type Constitutional law would allow some redress, however, we have only a Bill of Rights, which doesn't (if I recall correctly), protect the civilian population's right to "keep and bear arms".
Anyway once again kia ora me tenā koutou (hello and welcome).
