[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 333460, member: 1007"] I wouldnt say the 308 is better. Better is a subjective term. It may be better in some regards and not as good in other regards. the 06 isnt much faster than the 308. Why sacrifice a longer overall rifle, longer bolt throw, heavier all around weapon with added recoil and less barrel life to get another 100 FPS? The sacrifices dont justify the small gain. If youre going to use a long action then you should utilize a cartridge worthy of a long action. In other words get some bang for your buck. Granted, you can gain more than 100 FPS over the 308 when bullets over 200 grains are used but again, it still doesnt gain that much. The inherent accuracy of the 308 is extreemly good, coupled with a long barrel life, minimal powder consumption, and mild recoil it is a good all around caliber. [/QUOTE]
