Anyone have the Dick's sporting goods Camo .308 handi-rifle? They have them on sale this week for $250 and I have been thinking of picking one up, as I need a longer range rifle. Mostly for target, maybe some varmint (woodchuck, coyote) as well, and of course, a SHTF backpacking rifle.
I have read on here the .308's are shooters, I would imagine the Dick's special is no different? I would be reloading for it as well, I already have 1k LR primers, and only load the occasional box .35 remington, But I will break her in good with factory loads, gotta make brass somehow

I would consider the .22-250, but .308 is widely available and I could also buy surplus.
Any advice will be considered. I also want to look at a Marlin XS7 in .308, If I can find one in stock somewhere. I like the idea of the Handi being able to be packed up smaller, though.
