If you were to buy a rifle to do some longrange shooting at targets and also hunt at close to medium range what cartridge would you choose based on the 308?
I never mix business with pleasure. Tweener rifles interest me not.
Based on 308 for LR:

The first 3 rifles are very heavy. The last 3 very light. The absolute last thing I want is some custom built abortion that lands squarely in the middle. Tweener rifles never satisfy, and are the biggest mistake newbies make when building their first customs. Don't try to build one rifle to do it all. Build the rifle with a specific task in mind, and you won't be sorry later..............
