Supposed to be in production later this year, a Henry lever action rifle
in .308 (and several other calibers) with a box magazine instead of a
tube magazine. Why? Because you really don't want a tubular magazine
with "pointy" bullets.
Prototypes on display at major shows.
Strange hybrid I suppose.
I doubt you will like the recoil of a .308 in a locked breech gun
which is that light.
No kidding. My .30-.30 is a beast. My 12ga is easier on the shoulder!
Yeah, Harry said my M1A had too much recoil for him and it is a gas
operated, heavy sombitch. I do feel it if I shoot 75-100 rounds in an
afternoon.
Did I say that? I don't recall. I do know that I did say I thought these
rifles were too heavy for me to drag around on my shooting forays. Seven
to seven and a half pounds is a heavy enough rifle for me.
I like my 5.56, .357 MAG and .22LR rifles. Your mileage, obviously,
varies. But the .50 to .70 a round for non-ferrous .308 ammo is more
than I am willing to pay for my informal target shooting hobby.
Maybe this memory problem is what is causing all the lies?
