[QUOTE="grit, post: 615889, member: 4112"] Welcome! Never hunted big game? The 308 would indeed be an excellent choice for your criteria. Barrel life can't be beat, versatility is unmatched. Recoil is mild. If you'll be shooting factory ammo, there isn't a better caliber for match quality ammo. If you'll be handloading, the 7-08 would offer less drop and drift, and less recoil. Barrel life would be a bit shorter. The 260, 6.5 Creedmore, and 6.5x47 Lapua are all superb. Even less drop and drift, and less recoil. Barrel life would be less again. [/QUOTE]
