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? There's no "maybe" about you being a racist and an asshole. |

A few years ago I flew into London and drove about 80 miles to a town north of there. I had rented a car, and made sure I got an automatic transmission since I didn't want the added hassle of shifting a manual with the wrong hand. Remembering to keep to the left was hard enough. I had done it in the Cayman's but had a co-pilot with me then, in the UK I was by myself. I was there a week, and still found myself walking up to the left side of the car to get in most of the time. Old habits and all. |

Old habits and all. Company I worked for in the 80's, had a London area office. One of the engineers from there was over here for 6 months. When he arrived back in England, leaving the airport, forgot which country he was in, and got in a head on accident. Low speed and no one hurt luckily. |

Old timers used to say millions of rounds, including tracers, were dumped into the harbour after the 2nd world war. I think the problem started when the last of the WWII surplus dried up. There are still plenty of companies loading .303 but I don't think there is much that is cheap, It is .75 to a buck a round at the bulk guys. The Brits went to the NATO calibers decades ago. A little cheap than that. Just add shipping... https://www.wikiarms.com/group/303British |

Do they still do so? |
