Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters .30-06 or .308; any real reason to choose one over the other these days?

In some cases, like the Ruger 77 RSI, the length of the action will contribute to a rifle balancing either better or worse than its long/short action counterpart.

Or in cases where the rifles in question were only made in long actions, so the magazines were blocked and a different bolt stop was used when short cartridges were chambered.
