[QUOTE="backwoods83, post: 532000, member: 29890"] Well some people should get there **** together before they pop off at the mouth, first off the 30-06 was not the first sniper round nor was it originally called a 30-06 it was a 30-03 designed for the 03 springfields and was finalized in 1906 hence the 06. The 45-70 D&H and the 30-40 krag were used as sniper rounds before the 06 was thought of. The 308 is more efficient to shoot than the 06 and if you do not handload there isn't enough difference to matter. Then there is this scope controversy, I've went hunting in wooded area with a 12-42x56 night force and have not had issues as close as 20 yards in low light, with optics its about the quality not the magnification. And before I catch hell know that I shoot and handload both rounds and yes to me the 06 takes the the advantage with a trade off of 10-14grns more powder, but feeding wise the 308 takes the advantage and that's why the military adopted it.
