I am fairly new to the site, but am a big fan! I just wanted everyone to know that I bought my first rifle, a Savage 14 308 Win. I was looking for a 30-06, but the price was right and I pulled the trigger. The gun is beautiful and I have mounted on top of it a nice 2.5-10 x 42 Nikon Monarch, which I purchased off this site. I can't describe how awesome if feels to finally have a rifle to add to my collection of shotguns. I am going on my first elk hunt next year in Colorado and was concerned that the 308 wasn't enough shell, but I am going to the range tomorrow to get her driving tacks. I think a good shot with a 165 grain pill will do wonders for elk. Anyway, just thought I'd let everyone know. Cheers! Steve.
