Honestly, that is a great answer........but after owning a new fn made fwt in 308 I'd have to say I really like my pre 64 model 70 30-06 fwt better. The fwt 30-06 weighs the same exact ammount as the 308. Now If I'm not mistaken the new fn made 30-06 weighs 4 oz's more than the new 308. Also the grip on the new fwt's is pretty big and the stock just seems fat in some areas. Don't get me wrong, that's an excellent choice but if it were me I'd opt for one of the new Extreme Weather model 70's (my preference to the 30-06) if that were going to be the only rifle in my safe. Put a micky on it and a Leupold VX3 3.5-10x40 W/CDS and never look back..... whistle
