[QUOTE="JAMMAN, post: 79416, member: 4559"] meichele, Your post is exactly the kind of information I was looking for, but was not articulating for myself. I actually don't want the standard '06 like everyone else has, but if it were that much more powerful or a better all around choice, I'd just choke it down. I knew the .308 was considered highly accurate, but didn't know how the '06 and the .308 compared to each other. I love the long life possibility of the .308, plus the lesser recoil. I do NOT need another 100fps, as I'm not a speed hog. Also, I am wanting to shoot at 600, and 800yds down the line. The only real reason I really was throwing the '06 back in the mix was whether it was needed for hunting, but for deer I see no reason why the .308 won't make it happen for me with my medium weight deer. Thanks for reading my mind and giving me what I needed to know. I'm ordering my gun now, even though it's not a fantastic setup, it gets me started and lets me have some fun. It'll be a Stevens 200 in .308. Will likely put a Bushnell 3200 on it so I have a starter with a MilDot. Thanks [/QUOTE]
