[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 531893, member: 30902"] Why is it superior? Just compare ballistics. Why do LEO's tend to use .308win instead? People are much easier to kill than large game. You can also of course use a short action for .308's reducing overall length of the weapon which is sometimes important. Then of course there's the lower recoil of the .308 due to the lighter bullets and lower powder wt. The 06 was the first thousand yard sniper caliber. It has taken more game in this country than all other rounds combined largely due to the many millions of them that were sold as surplus after the wars. Bigger case, more powder, higher velocities with heavier bullets. Savages are easy to modify because of how their barrels mount. Still not something recommended for a novice however unless you are planning to have a gunsmith inspect your work. The tolerances are very close and if you miss, you can blow one up in your face.
