Looks to me like it's stamped "Cal .308" on the line above "Winchester" on the front receiver ring.

That should say "shot a lot of ANIMALS" with Accubonds. Posting before coffee will get you every time.

I've shot a lot of bullets with Accubonds in various calibers, most recently a pile of plains game with the 270 gr. AB in .375 H&H, including the zebra in my profile photo. They have always performed well for me, and I've never lost an animal to one. As for the Sciroccos, my experience with...

I had an endcap strike when I first got my AUG, way back in the 2000s when nobody made mounts outside the standard American thread pitches, lol. I mounted an AAC QD mount to a 1/2-28 thread adapter (from M13-1.5 lefty threads on the Steyr, IIRC), then mounted a can to that. Tolerance stacking...

ECCO machine Looks like these guys have (or will make) what you need. ECCO is a reputable outfit.

Chokes may be marked on the undersurface of the barrel with the proof stamps, if lucky.

One has to be very careful about using thread adapters to mount suppressors, as the results of minor misalignments are amplified by the length of the can. Results can be catastrophic especially with large calibers. I would use this as a last resort. It's generally better to cut and rethread...

That is an odd thread size, as I'm sure you know. You may have to custom order one from a manufacturer.

Any info on chokes, chambers, weight, photos of proof marks?

Very nice, I'm sure that rifle has a few stories to tell.

It's one thing to buy from the shop you work for. It's quite another to intentionally (and often, significantly) underprice things, then immediately purchase them for personal gain or resale, or surreptitiously sell them to a friend, and, additionally, to leave the ad up and intentionally...

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this. Every single time I've found something I thought was undervalued or at least worth a closer look, I've been told "oh, that sold yesterday." Last time it was a very high end but unsigned '50s custom M70 wearing a gorgeous piece of walnut. I called...

No worries! Yeah, I’m slowly switching over to all copper for a few reasons, but I have a pretty good stockpile of Accubonds and various other traditional/bonded bullets to work through first. I’ve got the same issue with an abundance of suitable Africa rifles. Only so much room in the luggage...

ADG is excellent. It’s all I shoot in the PRCs, and will start picking it up in other calibers as I use up shelf stock. They are carefully but steadily expanding their range of offerings.
