[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 606270, member: 1007"] The picture below illustrates why I love the 308 so much. I was out today in northern Arizona shooting some distance in not too bad a wind. Between 18-34" worth of it and still am able to lay down stellar groups. IMHO, the 308 is just plain user friendly. It doesnt beat you up, barrels have good life, its cheap to operate, fits in a short action etc....That said, the 30-06 is a fine round but when you can legititmately get 2750+'/sec with 175-180 class bullets with regular, repeatable and consistent .3-.4 MOA it just really makes for a sweet combo. The group below measures right at 4.375" center to center. It is very common to see .5 to even sub .5 MOA at 1K in a hunting set up. You will see many more 308's at matches than you EVER will the 30-06. Let the dead horse be beaten!!! Regards! [/QUOTE]
