Hmmm, I might need to rethink this as I might not be able to carry the bloody thing let alone manage the recoil. I think I need to get to the range with my t3 308 and see if that’s even still tolerable. Thanks guys for your help.
    so you already have a T3 in 308.......job done...suppress it if its not already and go and shoot lots o rounds at paper.....any animal out in open to 400 yards going to be in big trouble....how far can you ethically shoot game animal...I wont say rabbit I do say 3ltr plastic milk bottle...fill a few up with water ,place out at range and pop them first shot....when you cant hit them first shot you stretching it too far,reason for milk bottle???? same size as vitals on most of out species.

    save your coin....learn to use what you have got,if $$$$$ are burning hole in your pocket,consider a couple of guided meat hunts..fill the freezer and actually see what your 308 is capable of in your hands in good/perfect setting.
    Ive been hunting for 43 years and dont shoot past 400 yards...and seldom past 200...my freezers are full,all three of them.
