I never met anyone who dropped the .308. Its fan base is loyal.



A loyal fan of the 308 and 155 Scenar's but learned there was no downside to the 6.5X47 and 139 Scenar's, less powder, less recoil, less drop, less drift, better fit in a 2.8 mag box.

The Screechmoor is more of the same, personally I prefer the 6 and 22 with 108's and 88's and will scoop up a 6.5 FC when the price is right.

If I only needed two boxes of ammo per year, no fk'n way would I trip a 6.5 for a 308.
