At one time I had three .308s. The 3 digit serial # Ruger 1A-B was for snap shooting in the timber, the Ruger 77 Mannlicher was my all round rifle and the Remington 700 Varmint was my South Carolina Bean Field rifle. Amazing how many of those 700 yard shots were inside 350 yards. The boys with the 7 and .300 mags could not believe the shots I made on whitetails. Of course they spent their money on fancy rifles while I spent mine on shooting and High-Power competition.
Lost the Mannlicher to a house fire, still have the #1 and sold off the Remington when I stopped hunting bean fields. These days my all-rounder is an Old Steyr Scout but I usually take one of two .257 Bobs afield for deer, varmints and small game.
