[QUOTE="Wind Dancer, post: 61083, member: 3615"] Appreciate your quick comment. Have to admit I have a love affair with the .308. It is an absolute pleasure to shoot after pounding myself for years with a 300 WM. At some point I will build a new rifle though. Thought a lot about the 6.5-284 but may want to hunt elk and such up to 1000 yards eventually. I live in Missouri and its hard to get long shots at all so I just shoot steel. I won't go with another 300 unless I am convinced the recoil will be tamed by the weight. I don't really like the noise of muzzle breaks. And, I can't afford to spend money on a new barrel every 1200 rounds. Some days I shoot a hundred rounds a day, but I'm slowing down since I now have a range at my house and don't have to drive anywhere to shoot. Certainly appreciate any thoughts anyone may have.
