    First up U G welcome to the Site! & Merry Christmas ! Sounds like you've got a shooter there ! I reckon the .308 is a excellent Cal .I've owned a couple of Rifles in .308 over the years & was "Married " to both a L1A1 & M60 for 6yrs in the Army about a million yrs ago now & found it to be a accurate & hard hitting Round

    Toney I feel your Pain !For my first 3years I was just a plain Grunt Then I transfered over to SASR1 & after being tortured through Preselection I instead of getting to carry a 203 or M16 ,I got stuck with the "PIG" for the next 3years (It was not what I had expected & was not a happy "Marriage " )I was glad to get out & go straight back to Shootig for a living!

    They did have a couple of clamp downs on our firearm laws but they left a whole lot of loop holes so it did'nt really effect the serious shooters ,Or us Pro shooters ! even now their looking at relaxing the laws agian to a certain degree! Nice to know there are other "Rice Paddy Grunts" on the board ! My first visit was as just a Grunt & my second was with SASR1 ! the first I carried the SLR L1A1 7 the Owen & F1 sub machine guns . I decided that the SAS blokes all carried lighter weapons than me so I transfered ............Yeah wise career move As well as all the other weight I had to lug I got stuck with the "PIG" as I was the New Boy in the section !
