Do to job changes ,
And a relapse of my teenage guitar obsession i have not done much shooting the last few years.
So with deer season just a couple weeks off, i grabbed my pair of pre 64 .308s. (one is a featherweight mdl 70 one is a model 88 , grabbed a box of 50 reloads and headed for the coast mountain range about 30 miles west of Portland.
I took a plastic pop bottle out to a stump about 80 yards off the road, fired 3 rounds , rested withe the bolt gun, and ran up to the target, and found 3 holes in about an inch.
Put a paper plate on a stump a little closer
5 rounds off hand , from the lever clusterd about 3 inches.
I think the model 70 will be my rifle for coast black tail. The load was a 150 grain speer over varget.
I will use the 88 as back up.
I might take 7 mag out if i get a chance and site her in, but the .308 is so damn fun !...tj3006

Welcome back to the fun!
