Freedom Arms 2008

Interested in knowing if anyone here shoots one of these and your opinion.

Never owned one but spent a good deal of time behind a few of them. The main ones being 338 federal. Exceptionally accurate and easy on your hands. Handles like a model 83 to me. I love the lever actuated action release. They are very nice guns.

Thank you for the response. Thinking about one in .308 and .260. Undecided for now. I spoke with them the other day and they stated a three month waiting time. Wondering about entering the LR rifle world instead.

I think with the right glass on it, you would be amazed at he distances you could stretch it out with that 260 barrel

I owned one in 6.5 Swede. I enjoyed shooting it, like Glenn said very accurate. Like a fool I sold it when the SA bug bit. Always thinking about reordering one in 260 or 243.

A 260 would be my pick of the cartridges mentioned, if the distance bug was biting me.

I own two receivers and 4 bbls -- 260 Rem, 6.5x55 AI, 7-08 and 338 Federal. I love them all. I have not shot my contenders or encores very much since getting the FA single shots. Very accurate and easy to shoot.

Thank you for all the input.

I was impressed with the 2008 when I got to handle one at the factory last year.

Like Glenn mentioned, I liked the locking mechanics of it. the new contoured forearms realy make them look sharp too.

I have one on my long list of "wants"
