[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 145743, member: 1007"] [b]Re: Why do snipers use .308 with so many other options??? What is best[/b] It never ceases to amaze me the amount of shooters who think everything is superior to the 308. Paper ballistics meen nothing. Anybody who has ever owned and shot a 308 knows it can hold its own and is alot easier to shoot good groups at distance with it that alot of other rounds. How often do 308 shooters have a bad day at the range? I know when I am having a bad day at the range, I pull out the 308 and I instantly start having a good shooting day. I know this doesnt answer the question, but a few points are below. 1. Mild recoil. 2. Extreemly accurate. 3. Short action for ease of repeating under fire. 4. Lighter ammo. 5. Very lethal (this is supose to be a secret, the 308 is NOT suppose to be able to kill a human or deer letalone a moose) 6. A very proven round on the battlefield. 7. Tons of available data and load options. These are only a few reasons it is in the sniping comunity. [/QUOTE]
