My liking for one cartridge or another seems based more on the platform than the cartridge. For example, I am no fan of a Garand but love the M1A/M-14.
The main reason I bought another .308 is a buddy bought my last Gunsite Scout off me. "Had to have it". I replaced it with a Ruger SS Gunsite Scout, the 18.3" barrel version. I put an XS systems rail and a Ruger synthetic stock on it with a Burris 2-7x32 Scout scope. It works OK.
I really don't like the .308 as much as an '06. I used the .308 exclusively for about ten years and while it shot and killed well, I thought an '06 might be better for elk. I'm not positive it is but I like the results I have gotten with the '06.
