[QUOTE="Skinny Shooter, post: 70892, member: 716"] Hi grey2112 , Yes, the 308Win can serve in all three roles within reason. It's a great caliber. You should only need one scope and personally the less I have to change scopes the better. Currently am using a Leupold 4.5-14x50LR w/MilDots on my 308. It shoots the 175gr Sierra Matchking over VARGET with acceptable accuracy. For groundhogs, I've found they will pencil on through on some shots and then blow up on the next. And you really need to watch your backstop. Now I'm testing the Wildcat 169.5gr ULD RBBT HP bullets on groundhogs. Am told they are constructed a little light for deer but should do well on chucks. For now, I'm shooting heavy bullets so I'll know my rifle better when it comes time for deer season. Have also used 110gr Vmax bullets over VARGET and they will flip a groundhog end over end when hit just right. Usually a DRT one shot stop.

And, ya can never have enough guns... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
