A fellow I work with likes to buy the biggest, newest, coolest, most expensive stuff out there so he can brag about it. He recently bought a brand new Browning X-Bolt (with huge scope) in 6.8 Western and was extolling it's virtues to me. He is not a handloader. You cannot buy ammo for it in this province or even hope to buy proper LR bullets for it in Canada these days. He searched the entire country and finally found ammo for it out west and payed through the nose for it.
For his hunting, a plain old 308, 270 or 30-06 would have served him better with a whole lot less hassle.
