[ But in terms of practical hunting, why not carry the lighter and softer recoiling gun?
Good grief, you make a different, unrelated point in every post.
What does this have to do with your original contention that the 308 is equivalent to the 30/06?
Don't get all huffy. YOU were the one who brought up the calibers in question.
That said it has EVERYTHING to do with the .308 vs. .30-06. The .308 can do the exact same thing the .30-06 does in a lighter gun with less recoil. The difference isn't as dramatic as the calibers you mentioned, but it's still there. So why would I want the .30-06?
