But have if you're into wasting money to get the jod done the .257 may be for you.


You never disappoint, you're still a retard!

Still holds true, even if from 2011!

I suppose the best answer for this age-old (2011) question is to pick the .257 bob, if you can't find a .250 savage.

Have shot deer with both the Bob and 308. Both are excellent and I'd be hard pressed to pick one over the other.
Personally, I'd split the difference and go 7mm-08. Which is, IMO, the perfect whitetail cartridge.

With that light rifle the Bob should have a little less recoil. So that could tweak the coin flip slightly away from the .308 Win., IMO.
