1980s bar

[davey]

have 1980s bar 308. what are some recommended factory ammo for best accuracy- any ideas?

[chefjeff]

Rem. green box 150's

[davey]

setting up gun; been in storage about 15+ years; very few rounds;  got Mueller scope; any other accurate ammo to try?

[davey]

tried fusion 168 , got about 2-3" groups - any other accuracy tips ; including recommend forearm stock torgue specs? - will try hornady super performance(have not heard any bad recommendations per extra power damaging semi autos)--any ideas ?

[chefjeff]

Yeah,clean the barrel well,cool 5 mins. between shots and do try the green box 150's unless you just have to have a "premium" bullet. Spend the money on a better optic. Happy shooting!

think mueller is pretty good, but i did get a vortex viper and might be too nice.
will try remingtons with hornadys; where can i find forearm torque specs? any more ideas?

Call Browning for the torque#, a simple phone call.My owners manual does not list it. Most folks will tell you you get what you pay for in a scope. If you can get 92% light transmission you should be fine,but the last little increase in performance over that will cost mucho in the pocket.You've got a ballpark $600 rifle,consider at least a $300 scope if your needs are that of a serious hunter. Good luck.
