Free: Contests & Raffles.
I assume that if somebody asks a question about a specific cartridge, that they've got limited first hand experience with it or they're just fishing for a confirmation bias (I don't think that's the case here with the OP). In the case of a common round like the 308, I also assume that the person asking the question has a very casual (limited) knowledge of other offerings which may fall into the same general performance bracket. At that point it can benefit everyone reading along (not just the OP) to discuss other viable options which can accomplish the same goal. Maybe something like a 243, 260, 6.5 or 6mm Creedmoor, or 7-08 would actually be a better fit for the end user. It's not as if we're coming in and suggesting that the OP should ditch the 308 and grab a 338 RUM. I think you may be struggling to pick up on the tongue-in-cheek nature of the FAST majority of my posts here and elsewhere in the forum. I don't know Kc_Kracker, but he seems to be rolling with the lighthearted jabs at the 308 pretty well. It would appear that he picked up a 308 just because it works for what he's got in mind and was the right gun, at the right price, at the right time. That doesn't make it the best choice, the best chambering, or even a distant 3rd place. That just makes it what he ended up with.
Because of posts and PMs exchanged with York I bought a .308.
Great scope!🙃
