Dan, I guess where a 308 interest me is in using a 130 TTSX, which runs neck and neck with a 130 in a 260 (trajectory etc.) out to 400 yds.

Now don't even get me 'learned' in the art of casting a fly rod else I wish I might have taken to Golf wink LOL.

Good info guys thanks.

Oh, as to that one round dilema, LONG before I had my first rifle, I longed for a 270 b/c JOC loved it, so he wrote. I was sold on it - and owned a few......maybe someday I will go back to it as a mainstay, and who knows, I MIGHT just try a 308 one day!

For now, I prefer smaller bores for most of what I do, but you being in the big mountains where big critters abound, there may be some added comfort carrying a rifle of larger bore size.

I cannot argue that you have not chosen well.
