Let me change the response a bit. I have twenty some odd rifles. If I could only keep one, it would be a toss up between my Browning Safari .308, built on a small ring Mauser and an early commercial FN custom stocked .30-06. Both are plenty accurate, the .308 scary accurate. And throw my advanced age into the equation, the .243 that matches the .308 might not be a bad choice.

I am through with the hard hunts likely involved with things larger than deer, hogs, and antelope. It was fun, but now memories. Even the mule deer spot and stalk two or three miles are history. I know where some easier hunting for them exists.

Best,

Jack
