I am a huge 30-06 fan who suggests 308 Win more often than not, but have to point out that I've applied this same logic to why, as an 06 lover, I don't need a 300 Win Mag.

If I ever burn out my 06 barrel I'll likely replace it with a 308 Win.


I've got one of each, .308 in a Savage 99, 30-06 in a Mauser 98 and a .300 Win Mag in an ER Shaw Mk.VII...They all work, but I'm liking the .308 more and more these days(the Mauser might turn into a 9.3x62).

I don't always shoot Mausers, but when I do...I prefer VZ-24s.
