Piecing together a new build and thinking of going short.
I, like so many, need a new gun like a hole in the head but I miss my .308 bolt gun. I sold it a while ago to invest in a top notch AR-10. I'm building off the Gunwerks GRB Action and plan to use Proof Carbon as my barrel choice. I'm really leaning toward a 16.5" barrel and run the gun suppressed 99.9% of the time. Assuming the FPS is the same as I have chronoed out of the AR-10 (Hornady 178 gr ELD-X at 2450) I should be looking at a 700-750 yard gun for bullet expansion.
This gun would serve as a meat stick and upgrade for my 9yr old.
Here is the build list I'm thinking of so far:
Gunwerks GRB Action
Gunwerks Clymer Carbon Stock
Wyatt Style bottom metal with detachable mag
Trigger Tech Trigger
Proof Carbon 16.5" Sendero Lite
Leupold Mk 5 3.5-18x44
Atlas Bipod
What say you Sliders? It seems as though the venerable .308 has lost it's luster these days but it just plain kills what it hits...
