WA. I have to agree with you. Funny in all the guntrading my friend and myself have engaged in neither of us had ever landed on a 308. About 10 years ago I bought one just because. I have to admit I really liked it a lot for hunting as well as just shooting it. Relative cheap , easy to load for and powerful enough w/o being too big. Jwall is right the same can be said for the 7-08 but I just like the 308 better for some unexplained reason. I didn't keep mine as I have too many rifles and others with more personal history and that meet my simple deer hunting needs. However if I ever lost everything and had to start over I'd be looking for a 308. Interestingly for as popular chambering as it is. I don't see a lot of used ones around for sale.
