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.

my favorite is the 303 Brit. Bolt action. packs a wallop but easy on the shoulder.

My buddy bought one of those about 55 years ago. Then he found out he had
trouble getting the 303 ammo.

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.

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?

Took the Mosin Nagant to the range this past week. Put 20 rounds through it. Yes, my shoulder was a
bit sore, and I was holding that stock very tightly against it.
