Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting A very basic, common, .308 rifle setup

I was a 3006 user for a long time, dabbled with a bunch of other cartridges along the way. Some larger, some smaller. Just in the last 2-3 years or so have I really come to realize that for what I need out of a cartridge ; the .308 checks all the boxes. So do a bunch of other cartridges, but I'm a .30 cal kind of guy and couple that with modest recoil and with easy to source reloading components and factory ammo, when it came time to re-barrel; the 308 was a no brainer.

Here's more proof that the .308 really sucks. No fancy bullets, the only bullet this rifle sees is a 150g Hornady Interlock moving along at 2800fps.....some stuff just works. Never saw a reason to spend $$$ on premium bullets.
