Captain Woodrow Cahill, SASS # 54363 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 After considering the advice of several sage pards, reading every review of all the choices, I ordered a Marlin X7 in .308 today. Should have it in about a week. And I got it essentially for free. Well, just about. Based on the advice of an econ prof in college, I never spend my change. Every night the pocket gets emptied into an automatic bank that sorts the coins and puts them in the roller tubes. Once a year I take the box of rolled coinage to the bank and trade it for folding money. This year I had exactly (and I mean to the penny) the purchase price. Serendipitious? Fate? Whatever you want to call it, it worked. Now I've just got to buy some of that Russkie Wolf ammo I told Captain Callahan about in his .308 Ammo thread.

Capt. James H. Callahan Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Congrats on your new toy Cap'n. Here's some links I've found for other ammo at good prices for your consideration. I'm still shopping!

Capt. James H. Callahan Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Here's the scope I ordered for my .308. I'm usually not much on fancy reticles, but I kinda like the Accu-range. Looks like it would really catch your eye for close/intermediate range, and also can be used as a bullet drop compensator. At least get you in the ballpark at long range. The Redfield website tells more about it. They're made by Leupold now, so should be a decent scope at a decent price. Free shipping and a $30 rebate is pretty good. Plus the price has actually dropped $10 since I ordered mine a couple days ago. Enjoy that new shooter!
