Franchi Momentum All-Terrain - 308 Win - 18" - Black Synthetic:

Franchi sets a new standard for everyday use rifles with the Momentum All-Terrain Elite. It has all the accuracy-enhancing, recoil-mitigating features found in other Momentum firearms, but is optimized for carry in a truck or ATV as your constant companion. Both the .223 and .308 models can shoot their 5.56 and 7.62 NATO counterparts. The sleek, modular stock has a low-rise comb and is equipped with M-LOK and QD sling attachment points. It's topped with a long, free-floated Picatinny rail so you can mount optics traditionally, or in a scout rifle configuration. Flip-up adjustable sights give you multiple sightpicture options. The threaded, free-floating 18-inch barrel comes with a muzzle brake and is ready to accept your suppressor. A 10-round Magpul AICS magazine is included, and a number of aftermarket options are available to customize the fit and feel of your rifle.

Evolved Ergonom-X
Franchi researched the five most common shooting positions to create an ergonomic stock offering optimal comfort and efficiency in each of them. Raised curves and crisp checkering work together to deliver a firm grip and steady aim in any weather.

MoA Guarantee
Franchi rifles are test-fired to ensure minute-of-angle accuracy at 100 yards when using premium factory ammunition.

Relia Trigger
An adjustable, single-stage trigger users can customize to break cleanly between 2 and 4 lbs.

TSA Recoil Pad
A revolutionary design proven to reduce felt recoil up to 50 percent and make shooting more enjoyable. It also reduces flinching, which improves accuracy and allows for faster follow-up shots. Rounded edges minimize chances of snagging on clothing when the gun is raised to shooting position.

308 Winchester:

The .308 Winchester (pronounced: "three-oh-eight" or "three-aught-eight") is a rimless, bottlenecked, rifle cartridge and is the commercial cartridge from which the 7.62x51mm NATO round was derived. The .308 Winchester was introduced in 1952, two years prior to the NATO adoption of the 7.62x51mm NATO T65. Winchester branded the cartridge and introduced it to the commercial hunting market as the .308 Winchester. Winchester's Model 70 and Model 88 rifles were subsequently chambered for the new cartridge. Since then, the .308 Winchester has become the most popular short-action, big-game hunting cartridge worldwide. It is also commonly used for civilian target shooting, military sniping, and police sharpshooting. The relatively short case makes the .308 Winchester especially well-adapted for short-action rifles. When loaded with a bullet that expands, tumbles, or fragments in tissue, this cartridge is capable of high terminal performance.

Although very similar to the military 7.62x51mm NATO specifications, the .308 cartridge is not identical, and there are special considerations that may apply when mixing these cartridges with 7.62x51mm NATO, and .308 Winchester chambered arms. Their interchange is, however, considered safe by the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers Institute (SAAMI).

Suggested Use:

Predators
Small Game
Varmint
Deer
Black Bear
Moose (short range)
Elk (short range)

Performance:

The .308 Winchester is one of the most popular hunting cartridges in the United States, and possibly the world. It has gained popularity in many countries as an exceptional cartridge for game in the medium- to large-sized class. In North America it is used extensively on whitetail deer, pronghorn and even the occasional caribou or black bear.

Clay Harvey, an American gun writer, says it is usable on moose and elk. Layne Simpson, an American who has hunted in Sweden, says he is surprised how many hunters there use the cartridge. Craig Boddington was told by a Norma Precision executive that the .308 is one of Norma's best-selling calibers.

In Africa the .308 Win is one of the most popular calibers among Bushveld hunters and is used on anything from duiker right up to the massive eland (a small and large African antelope respectively). Proponents of the hydrostatic shock theory contend that the .308 Winchester has sufficient energy to impart hydrostatic shock to living targets when rapidly expanding bullets deliver a high rate of energy transfer.

The .308 Winchester has slightly more drop at long range than the .30-06 Springfield, owing to its slightly lower (100 ft/s) muzzle velocity with most bullet weights. Cartridges with significantly higher muzzle velocities, such as the .300 Winchester Magnum can have significantly less drop at long range.
