[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 531775, member: 30671"] I agree with the assessment the .30-06 being superior to the .308, but I'd qualify it a bit, to realize the full potential of the .30-06 one needs to handload. As economics is a consideration a .308 is generally more economical to shoot. I had one of those carbine pump 18.5" barrel 30-06's years ago, had it setup with a peep sight for inclement weather, heavy brush days. Made the mistake of putting a scope on it, and found it outshot my bolt gun considerably. Always thought it rattled a bit too much. It even shot old surplus French military exceptionally well. Corrosive as hell, $1 a box, spend the next week pouring solvent down the barrel telling ourselves how much money we saved. [/QUOTE]
