I’m in for 300 blk version.
Maybe because LE/MIL don't clear houses with bolt action rifle... We speak of a 10.5 bolt gun here in case you forgot.
for sure a 308 win will more powerfull than a 300 BLK but most of that power will make it unpleasant to shoot making it pointless. personally, it seems like a silly idea to me. Based on my limited experience with a 12' 330 BLK I would guess a 12″ 308 with 150 grain bullets would give you similar velocities with a 125 grain projectile(2300 fps) with far less blast and concussion. A 12 inch 308 win will require you to wear double ear protection and it will still be unpleasant to shoot.
Short barrel 308 Win are great and I own a 16.5''. But shorter than 16.5 inch you start to loose alot.
Ahhh All these left-handed elitist...
if you like big bangs, and big fireballs, it makes perfect sense.
i'm in for the .308 lol.
First, whether it's a bolt gun or semi has no significant bearing on ballistics so I'm not sure why you bring that up.
Second, The difference from a 18" 308 to a 13.5" 308 is a loss of 166fps. (2616 fps vs 2450fps). The 308 w/110gr bullet goes 2670fps from a 13.5" barrel, which is over 350fps faster than the same weight in a 300bo.
If you look at the numbers, rather than subjective opinions, the 308 is far better regardless of barrel length - and this isn't even factoring in the fact that the 300bo version comes with a shorter barrel. The only advantage to the 300bo is the ability to use subsonic rounds, but with no suppressors in Canada that advantage means nothing.
So for the twist rate:
.223 is 1 in 9
.308 is 1 in 10
Weight on both will be about 7lbs
Another vendor is advertising the 308 version as 6.15 lbs for the braced version, swap out for the CTR and its roughly 6.25 lbs...

If the 308 is sub 7 lbs naked I am soooooo IN
TFB weighed a 300bo model, and it came in at 7lb 7oz with a brace. I don't see how the 308 version could be 6.15lbs??
Maybe this is a stupid question, but don’t Centerfire rifles need to have 18.6” minimum barrels to be non restricted?? How could this possibly be NR?
Accuracy will be likely good.what kind of accuracy and range can you expect out of these? very interested in one
hmm, this might be a perfect fit for me in that case. gotta say accuracy in a small package to haul off to the farm range is very appealing. will definitely keep an eye on this.
