The debate over the best .308 Win battle rifle is over. The CMMG® RESOLUTE® Mk3 delivers the heavy-hitting performance of .308 Win out of one of the most stylish and ergonomic carbines ever produced. Although there can be a lot of confusion with .308 AR platforms, CMMG has kept it simple by basing our Mk3 platform off the popular Gen 1 DPMS High-Pattern LR308 design, which means greater parts availability and more customization potential.
When full-size rifles are too cumbersome and pistols/SBRs don’t deliver the long-range ballistic performance you need, the CMMG RESOLUTE line of carbine length rifles is the answer. Fitted with the suite of ZEROED parts and accessories as well as our legendary RIPSTOCK, the RESOLUTE is the rifle that’s never out of place. The new EML™ 15 handguard brings style to the next level. M-LOK® attachment slots are found where expected at the 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions as well as on top at 12 o’clock with the omission of a full-length Picatinny section found on our previous handguard. This reduces weight while the additional M-LOK section still gives shooters a place to mount those must-have accessories. With a range of choices, just pick the caliber you need for the job and let your rifle do the talking.

The 308 Winchester (7.62x51 NATO) was introduced by in 1952. Based on the T65 experimental military cartridge, Winchester essentially jumped the gun with the civilian introduction; the 7.62x51 wasn't officially adopted (or named) until 1954. The military's intent was to create a shorter cartridge that would fit into a lighter version of the M1 Garand. This was successful beyond their wildest dreams: The 308 Winchester is essentially a 30-06 case greatly shortened to 2.015-inch, but it lags only about 100 feet per second behind the 30-06 in velocity, and with it shorter, more efficient case it tends to be more accurate. The 308 is suitable for any hunting for which the 30-06 is suitable--which means almost anything in the world short of large, dangerous game. The 308 is a standard chambering among most manufacturers and is found in all action types. Factory loads are legion, including a wide selection of very accurate match loads. — Craig Boddington
