[QUOTE="sea2summit, post: 2689271, member: 105720"] Well...for what application? I've been a .308 guy for over 30 years. I got into a 6.5 G, .260, and 6.5C about four years ago. They are all great and 6.5G is lightyears better than 5.56 in an AR platform. But most of my hunting is within 350m and I still love my .308 and take it anytime I plan on walking and about 50% of the time I plan on sitting. If I was reaching out much further it would probably be .260 or 6.5C, but only on animals human-ish size/300lbs. Larger out that far I'd probably go 6.5x284 at least but more likely 7mm/300 mag. My daughter shoots PRS and we're planning on moving her to a 6.5x47 but for hunting guns I'd like to stick with more redily available/common calibers. [/QUOTE]
