Nice looking firearm, and in the most fantastic caliber. .. Congrats on your purchase, may it bring years of enjoyment.

Keep us posted on the accuracy of that beauty, I am curious.
 
Take all the time you need buddy, I want to see those groups though, lol.
 
Great looking rifle Marcos. Can't wait to hear how it shoots!
 
Love that Classic Mannlicher stock
 
Very nice Marcos, looking forward to your range report!
 
Marcos it looks great. How old of a rifle is it?
 
neat looking little rifle
 
fellows... I´m like a "busy bee"... hahha... In my free time, I´m working in the bullets for the little rifle!
The .308 is a caliber I know VERY WELL... In my coutry the "a27" powder, made in Argentina for the .308 militar ammunition, are tho most popular propellent for this caliber... BUT... a politic movement shut off the manufacture of this excellent powder!...
At this time, my handloads expend my last pound of A27... so... I´m start to use the IMR 4350... and the IMR 3031, two of the powders usually selling here in my place..
The next friday a friend come to my home with a Chrony...
I´m crazy--- diyng to test the 180 grs rounds!

Hi Marcos, 308s seem to thrive on 165gs I'm interested how the 180s work out for you, I like the old stuff also I have a Mexican Mauser re-barreled to 22-250 and a couple Mod 98s re-barreled in 30/06 and 7MM rem Mag

Yes! I know that.... BUT.. i´m very comfortable with the shot of my last weapon... a 1909 mauser 7,65 caliber (.311 bullet) He shots a 180 bullet at 2500 fps... I have a little ammount of bullets remaining, and a sizer .308... I resized the bullets and load its with A27 and IMR 4350... IF i can shot this round at 2400 fps, I have a trusty and well knowed shot like a 7,65 emule...
But... juts in case, I purchase a couple of 165 and 168 bullet cases!
 
Awesome rifle! Hope it shoots as good as it looks.
