I have hunted with a rifle in .308 for about 7 days. It was a Ruger Compact that i borrowed to hunt elk, deer, and boar. The rifle handled nicely. The only problem with it was the scope the guy had on it. It was a Burris compact 4x. It has to be one of the worst scopes i have ever used. I would have gotten it as my main hunting rifle, but since the bolt is on the wrong side, it didnt work out.

Sir North;
If you've got .30-06's, what are you wasting money on the .308 for? You could be investing that cash in things like H&K's!

Golly, I didn't know there was anything else. My first 308 Win was bought new in 1962: a M70 Feather Weight that my brother now owns.
Current 308's:
M88 Win w/Redfield 2 - 7 Full Field
M77 Varmint/Target W/Cabela's 3.5 - 10 Alaskan Guide
M77 MKII w/Burris 2 - 7
After lots of work these are all excellent performers.

My CHEAP .308: Turk Mauser action, Remington take off bbl, (from a Model 7, my guess. VERY slim, 21" or so..) Stock reworked from an Argy Mauser. Timney trigger, new safety. Weaver bases/rings, Simmons scope. Will put 2 shots from a cold barrel into .5", but then you gotta let the barrel cool down, it will then put 2 more on top of the first 2...My

I have 2 308s and 1 30,06. Some one asked if you already have a 30.06 why do you need a .308. Answer ! I Don't ! But I wanted one real bad ! I liked the 1st( A styer pro hunter) enough I wanted another ! it is a laminated model-7 Love it too ! Now I want another 06 Probably a model 700 (already have a model 70)
All three of these rifles are very accurate and tons of fun.If need were a factor I would have stoped after buying Thr 06. I now have 7 centerfire rifles, why 7 ? Cause I have not picked out #8 yet !

The problem with the rat race is, even if you win, you are still a rat.
