Thoughts on .308 ?

Nice Camp!

Thank you.............

I bought an RPR in .308 and love it. Always loved the .308. Have owned various caliber rifles and brands and always came back to the .308.

I've killed more animals with that caliber then all the other calibers I've owned. It's just a comfortable caliber that has proven to be accurate and reliable.

What people like or use is up to them but I'm not one to jump on the bandwagon.

All the cool kids may scoff at the .308 now, but they probably cut their teeth on it.

It's a bread and butter gun, you'll shoot it and shoot it and shoot it and eventually you'll want something sexier -but not out of necessity - but because all those aforementioned "cool kids" will all be say'n "oh, you got a .308 huh....why?" and if you aren't fully secure in your manhood you'll be buying some flavor of the month gun in a chambering you'll never find in a walmart.

Here's after picture of a Walmart type of rifle. Savage action donor..

Camp,

That 6.5 Grendel has that .308 out classed. Then again there are reasons for owning .308’s and 5.56’s. A cold one and the movie Patriot will give a guy a good under standing of “Common Chamberings”.

I’m deer hunting with a .308 this year for the first time ever. Why not?

Run what you brung. I’ve smoked a bunch in the orchards with a .22 Mag. Sticks with pointy things on the end work. To each their own. 👍 I have a truck in the shop right now getting repaired. It smoked two of them at 50mph. I’m sure if I wired my water trough to 480, I would have one laying there in the morning.🙃  Deer are wusses, so are moose , contrary to popular belief.

Because all the cool people own, and use .308s.😉

Maybe those old guys know something we don't? Lol! Like the 308 kills just as good as it has for years...maybe some like the newer whiz bang rounds, hoping it will make them more successful hunters i imagine. Doesn't work😉

It certainly does. It's a beautiful gun.

I liked handgun hunting with my T/C Encore, 15 inch barrel in 308. Shot a whitetail over by Ridgerats and dropped dead in it's tracks.
