When one has a 8x68S, does one need a ?
12/07/22 07:55 AM

Just suffering from my schizophrenic firearms obsessions ... I have a 8x68S. It is a Mauser M03, and not a beautiful classic. It can be improved however ...

I have always lusted for a classic .318 Westley Richards Mauser M98. After all I do host these forums! The Never Ending Tiger rifle.

And then there is the .338/06.

But if one has a big 8, and it can shoot bullets well in the range of 150 grs to 250 grs, does one need anything else?!

That .318 and .338 excelled with 250 grs. As .323 bullets are available for the same. 250 gr Woodleigh Weldcores. Just need 250 gr FMJs in .323. Could .330 FMJs be sized down?

200 gr or 220 gr Swift A-frames for anything big soft skinned.

160 to 180 gr for the run of the mill.

Just have to get to use it more.
