[QUOTE="ol mike, post: 235608, member: 4683"] 308 is an excellent cartridge to start with -you might very well end with it ! You'll get to choose from the best components for handloading or great factory ammo -handloading is the only way to go -imo-. Personally i'd go with a top end rifle right out of the gate -get a laminated stock or hs precision - maybe a nice stainless model . Instead of trying to build and piece together something later just get a gun that comes with top end stuff from the factory -and put that ''building'' energy towards bedding it ,tuning the trigger and load developement. A fine tuned 308win in a savage or cz or remington whatever -will amaze a beginner to this sport. I have a little cz 221 fireball that i use to practice with -i can ring an 8" steel plate at 400-450 most every shot ,sometimes the shots hit a few so close together on the steel it will put a smile on your face. A 308 will last you a looong time -3ooo maybe 4ooo rounds -> that's a lot of shooting practice and we all know practice makes perfect... [/QUOTE]
