Been looking a long time for a .30 cal bench gun. Turns out my best friend has had a Ruger .308 Varmint in the closet for a long time. He has the same gun in 25-06. Before he started shooting NBRSA BR he shot Club Cast Shoots at the old San Gabriel Range where he and I ran the NBRSA BR Shoots before they closed in 2006. He shot both the .25 and the .30 at the Cast Shoots.
I asked him today if he had seen any Springfields at the Arizona Gun Shows for sale. He said yeah allot of junk for high prices. When I asked him if he knew of any factory 30's for sale he mentioned his Ruger. I asked him if he wanted to sell it. Turns out he was going to take the gun to the gun show to sell it. He's a smith so he has done some work on it like a bed job,and installed a Canjar set trigger. After he hee hawed about price I finally got him to commit. I used to be a gun dealer and him being a smith we look at gun values differently. I always get my price. He's selling me the gun for $400. He will bring it over in September when we go to Visalia to shoot BR.
The reason I'm buying the gun is that I cast 11 molds in 30 cal. Now I only have a Model 70 30-06 so I was looking for a 30 cal bench gun preferably a .308 to shoot all my Cast with. I will shoot some Cast with the 30-06 but the .308 will see most of the Cast. The .308 case size is what I was looking for for a Cast gun.
Any guys out there shoot .308 Cast. I have a lot of numbers like 311413, 311466, 31141, 311467, 311284, 311299.
