Not much wrong with a .308 Winchester for hunting. Especially in the timber. I started with one, and still occasionally use it. My back-up rifle is my Ruger I’ve had for 30 years. It’s bedded, has a trigger job, recoil pad upgrade, and a Leupold 3.5-10x40 VX-III. It’s a sub-MOA rifle with handloads.
