Ahhhhh, a 308 thread.. My absolute favorite caliber! Hard to find something not to like about it and i now own two. Think about it,
1. I still found ammo for 308 on the shelves at cabela's
2. Short action makes for easier bolt operation and a lighter rifle
3. Powerful enough to handle most game
4. easy to reload if you are into that ( I am not - Strictly factory ammo)
5. Easy on the shoulder
A number of years ago i bought a Savage weather warrior which has been my most accurate rifle. Its on the lighter side, manageable recoil, Syn stock and stainless barrel. Perfect for hunting in the snow/rain and weather. Man i LOVE this rifle. Just picked up another 308 Ruger with a short threaded barrel for my can. using sub sonic its whisper quiet and easy on the ears. Its hard to argue against the 308 although some will try but I see it as almost the perfect hunting tool.
