Triggernosis - Just a good guess. I figured that unless you had found a old savage 99 in 7mm-08 that the BLR was the object of your desire.
WTM45 - Read the title of the post carefully. The .308 is a fine round and in fact the hunting world would be much simpler if all the calibers we had to choose from were .22 lr, .308, and .458WM but different strokes for different folks;) Just because you have a handy rifle doesn't restrict the distance you can shoot it. Your skill, ethics, and its accuracy determine that. My skill at this time limits me to 300 yards for unwounded big game in ideal conditions but I want to know where to hold at, and that the cartridge is adequate at 400yds in case I screw up the close shot.
