Today is March 8, making it National .308 Day. The only .308 I have is my HK91, it's probably my favorite rifle.
Although haven't been shooting for so long that I hope it still works. .. 
All the UKers missed .303 Day last week. .. 
Anybody else have a .308?

I've got a 7.62x51mm Spanish Mauser. The one with the question out of the past that goes, is it safe to shoot .308 in the converted to Nato round from 7mm small action bolt action gun? That's as close as I have. I did fire a few rounds of .308 in it and lived to tell the tale. The Nato 7.62 NATO round is supposed to be less pressure producing.
My right eye aiming eye is too blind to shoot any longer and I haven't had the urge to try shooting as a left, although I keep telling myself I ought to give it a try.

I have a Remington 700 PCR in .308. I also have two parker Hale rifles and an Indian 2A1 SMLE that are marked as 7.62x51mm Nato.
Regards
Peter.
