Thomas Joneshere is a picture of My Model 88 and my model 70, neither are collectable but dandy hunting rifles.
the lever is vitage 1960 , and the turnbolt is a 1953.
Both shoot sub Moa. If I can get a load both rifles will shoot I will be real happy...tj3006

robcoI replied to your post over on 24hr also.
I hate when you guys show pics of your 88's.. cause it just reminds me what an *sshole I was to sell mine !

Anyway good luck with yours and let me know if you have any luck with factory ammo for it.

6.5 SWEDETJ, what is the powder that you plan on using in the .308 Win's. Two nice rifles, I like those 88's. A friend of mine has one in .284 Win.

Thomas JonesI will play around till I find what works best. And probably still play around with loads.
I alredy have done real well with hornady 165 grain Flat base over IMR-4064 Groups well under an inch.
Did,t chrony but judging by the recoil I would say they were prety fast.
I just loaded some 150 grain Hornady BTs over W-748 , That powder works real well with the Bolt rifle so I hope it does with the 88 also...tj3006
