    Don't know about the Dino as mine is a 308. Baldwin seems to be the filter of choice for quality. Also UFI. About 50/50 choice for most 308s. Others here may have info on sizes and where to get them

    Correct. Baldwin is the current favorite; strong housing, anti-drain back valve, and great prices if you know where to look...B253. I've found them as low as the $8/each range. And they're RED!

    That's the best thing about them vs the UFIs.

    Alas, no Baldwin for the 348 or the Mondial T.

    I'd love to find them for $8.

    Best I know is $11
