I’ve had 7-08’s since 1980. I’ve got a 6.5C now also. I’d go with the platform you like first, then if the price was good buy it in whichever of the 2 calibers it’s in. If you run across one in gorgeous wood and it happened to be 308 then I’d go with it.

There is a ratio that's tied to bolt face size, powder charge, action/loaded round OAL, brass dimensions, bore diameter, and barrel length that directly effects how many celestial beings may gyrate on a minimally sized surface.

"Offended" lol. The new retort whenever someone doesn't think like someone else does.

Amused me. I get a kick out of the assumed superiority.

Especially coming into a thread about two calibers in which neither are 308, and insisting its what the "old hands" use and that you don't want to be bothered by "boys" talking about newer cartridges.

Self aware, much? When the 308 came out would you have been complaining that people actually *gasp* have opinions about it? And want to talk with you?

About what is just a hot shot new way to sell a 300 Savage anyway? :P
