    You're right. Approximately 0.15 pounds heavier for the 223 barrel vs the 308 barrel if the outer diameters are the same.

    I'm just glad to see any bolt action with iron sights these days.
    Wish there were more in the less expensive range.
    Oh well, back to my milsurps!

    Would be a cool .300 whisper gun no?

    Not very accurate, I have A couple friends who have The 308 version at the club… they were getting 3 inch groups at 100 meters, not quite what you would expect out of a bolt gun.
    Awesome looking gun though…

    I came close to buying one, but it seemed to me that shooting 308, especially being a light gun, the recoil would make the gun not particularly fun to shoot. With 223 there will be no significant recoil, which will make this more fun to take to the range. I might end up getting it in the new calibre.
