I took a 308 in a Remington 600 for my first Elk hunt in the Nez Pearce pass near the Selway River in Idaho close to 50 years ago and I was in great shape then after getting out of the Marines. I'm glad I didn't take anything heavier. Everyone else had 300 WM's or 7mm RM's.

I've owned many 308's, mostly in 600's or 660's. But I don't mind stirring the pot now and then grin.

I prefer classic.
