Savage Arms Axis II XP .308 Win Matte Blued Bolt Action Rifle

A: Mark, due to specific 308 head spacing in this .308 chamber, .308 has the potential for greater accuracy due to the bullet being seated in the chamber cone much tighter.

A: Mark, You will find .308 match rounds generally to be more accurate in this gun then 7.62 rounds. Good luck finding some .308 ammo at this time.
