[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 79268, member: 1007"] Superiority is a VERY subjective term. If you want more power the 30-06 is slightly superior than the 308. What makes the 308 more superior than the 06 is pure and simple accuracy and barrel life. The accuracy of the 308 may be many more times greater than the 06 yet it is only a minor amount slower. This coupled with LONG barrel life so you can acctually get married to your rifle is what makes the 308 so popular among long range shooters. The 06 simply cannot do what the 308 can at 600 800 and 1000 yards when it comes to precicion accuracy. There are exceptions to every rule but as a general rule 308's shoot tighter, longer. You have to go with what makes you happy. If its an extra 100 FPS then go with the -06, it will be "superior" to you. If extreeme accuracy is what will make you happy, the the 308 would be superior to you. Go with what will make you most confident. Both will do the job well. Each has desirable qualities. [/QUOTE]
