Another model 88 owner checking in
Posted: Sun Dec 23, 2018 8:51 pm
Hello All,
Been lurking around for a while, and decided to intro myself.
My FIL introduced me to 88's 30 years ago. My wife found an unfired 308 and gave it to me our 1st Christmas together. I soon after bought a 284, and then the FIL gave me a 243.
Eventually I acquired a pair of SAKO Finnwolfs in 308 and 7mm-08.
Next, I acquired a pair of model 88's in 308 to experiment with. I had one barreled in 250-3000 for my son a 1st rifle, and then had one done in 6.5x284. They both turned out great.
I always wanted a 358 to add to my small collection, but they have gotten to be cost prohibitive with 2 kids now in college.
So that's it, I like 88s , and will try to post some pics in this thread.
