Same for me. In fact, practicality and ease of availability are important enough to me that I rid my cabinet of all the oddballs years ago. If my local gunshop doesn't keep loaded ammo, brass and bullets in stock for it, I don't want it.

When all I could afford was one rifle for hunting in the South Carolina lowlands and piedmont areas, it was a .308. I have not been without one since. Very usefull cartridge. Easy to reload and get good accuracy, can find it anywhere, and can take most nondangerous game at the ranges the majority of us shoot them.
I guess it is too practical for those that do not like it.

Pretty well sums the .308 up. It works.....

Nothin but lacers here but the fact that pull-on's are very popular in Montana is duly noted.

Swampeee and big sneeze, the blind leading the naked. They were buddies 10 posts ago, now they are fighting over who has the best turd. Comical...I am popping more popcorn.

Keep it coming sneezy. I haven't been this entertained in a long time. Two whole rifles in how many years? Wowww...you are the rifle guru...and I bow before you and look up your dress.

I think it is time to challenge swamp pee to a shootoff. You go girl. Flinch

It's not the number of rifles you own, but how well you shoot those you do own.

I like them both. The .300 savage has that nostalgic cool to it though.

I recently put some Green Box through a Ruger with a 280 Rem.chamber. Only 10 rounds to get the scope reasonbly cloose for handload development, but the last 4 shots were better than MOA.

The rifle was a #1 to boot. Too bad Rugers can't shoot...

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

Somehow I got bored with the round within about 3 months into my first tour in Nam. Yeah, it kills chitt and shoots well, but...after 50-60K rounds....yawn....Mini-guns and M60s though..they'd be fairly cool even if they shot .22 WMR ammo...

Haven't fired a single round of .308 since late '72.

?? You can only hunt with one at a time. What good is 500 guns if ya can't hit the broadside of a barn?

In this video the 30-06 is a 300 yard gun and the 308 is a 1000 yard gun.
