YAHOO !!!!............. got my 308 today, it too has the 22" barrell...model #139 8rd....man, these are lighter than expected. i got it thru RSR in Fla (in Stock) i have had a 223 on order since mid april....I got a little nervous when another member posted that the sportsters will no longer be imported. I hope my 223 order gets filled. well, i will stop by wallyworld to get some ammo for this weekends baptism. I will then order some of that s african ammo from aimsurplus
