Just before Thanksgiving I got the wild idea to add a .308 to my modest collection of MSR. It took a lot of effort to gather up all the parts and pieces but even with the massive nationwide shortage of parts, I was able to get it done. The only missing part is the charging handle, which should show up mid week according to tracking info. The knowledge shared in this forum was super helpful and everything went together without a hitch. With any luck I will be able to get it dialed in before it turns brutally cold here in Minnesota.
Anyway, here's my parts list. Grand total without an optic is $1705
