I decided to go ahead and possibly purchase a .308 of some kind instead of "another 1911." I already have a few ARs in standard 5.56/.223 so thought I should add something that would stretch the yardage. It will pretty much be a range toy for blasting fun, not really wanting to go hardcore long range yet. Plus, it would be great to round out a top three in calibers; 9mm, 5.56, and the .308 ammo shortage notwithstanding.
So Arms Unlimited has used 700p's on sale for a pretty attractive price...this is definitely a possible splurge purchase.
I already have a Savage 110 in .30 06, but would like a .308.
A total NOOB question about bolt actions. Are the .308 Winchesters and 7.62 NATO rounds interchangeable in a bolt gun? No concerns about pressure tolerances like in ARs chambered in 5.56 vs .223? (See, total noob)
If I do get one I will have to research the crap out of possible optics for it. Off the top of my head I am thinking either a Vortex PST or something along the lines of the Burris XTR series.
Go with a used 700p for 750.00?
