I am more or less am a recent .308 convert. Dont get me wrong, I love my 7mm-08s and will continue to use them. The 7mms are sweet and I feel comfortable using them on any deer hunt and some elk.
Anyway, I started using a Daniel Defense AR-10 .308 and have enjoyed it, especially suppressed. It's a big gun but simply fun to use in fixed deer stands.
Why the .308? It works well for most hunting situations in CONUS. For me, the performance for 90% of hunting, mainly deer is awesome BUT ammo/components were a driving factor of why I am getting a bolt gun built for the round. I want a setup that I "should" be able to get ammo for in most situations so I can hunt, if I cant for other cartridges.
