All will enjoy this course and develop a greater appreciation for what a practical bolt rifle can do.
I can save everyone a lot of fussing with gear -- get or borrow a controlled feed, model 70 .308 featherweight or equivalent, add a Leupold 1.5-5 or similar scope, cut the LOP to between 13.0-13.25, add a middle sling stud, get a Langlois Ching sling, and start practicing!
