[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 275779, member: 1007"] Thank you Steve. I know sometimes I also open my mouth and insert my foot. For example, I use "inherent accuracy" way too loosely and too often when I should phrase that particular term with other more realistic terms such as "forgiving" or "easy to operate" or even "less finicky". My thought on the 30-06 vs 308 debate also includes the fact that because the 308 and '06 are so close in performance and one is a long action and the other is a short action that if guys go with a long action they may as well go with a 300 WM or 300 Wby mag. If they want less recoil and dont want to burn as much powder, then that leaves the '06 and the 308. again one being a short action and the other being a long action and that leads us back to since they are so close the advantages of the short action overshadow the few FPS the '06 has to offer. If you need more speed than the 308, you go to a long action and again, you may as well take advantage of that long action by going alot bigger. Now that we have SAUM's and WSM's the short action lovers have much more to choose from. [/QUOTE]
