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.

Forgot to mention that I shot a Henry in 45-70 last week at the local
range, a new firearm the owner just got. I think he said he was shooting
300 grain handloads. I don't know how the recoil of that gun and those
loads would compare to a .308, though. The Henry's recoil was heavier
than my .357MAG lever gun, but it wasn't bothersome.

I can't say it truly is in the queens arsenal today, though it might be in reserves, but the Lewis showed its head at the Fauklands a few years ago.

Yeah you are right, They still have a Queen. I guess they never get

We drove on the left also until 1923 and the Japanese still do.

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.

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.

I'm sorry I sold my 'sport' model 303 rifle for $20.00 back when I was working.
Ammo was easy to get. 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...

When I worked in the Bahamas, we drove on the left. Do they still do so?
