[QUOTE="Buster Hemlock, post: 1643113, member: 109327"] To the OP I'd shorten the 308 and leave the -06 for a longer setup. It's good we all have differing opinions on what is long range and what is ethical as it's different for all of us. I grew up hunting the east coast and 300 yards was considered a long shot, the thing of legend, and did all my hunting with a 223. I moved out west and took my 223 the first year and was super limited because three hundred plus became the norm due to how open some of the areas are and the 223 wasn't the cartridge to be using. There are lots of areas I hunt that closing the distance to 500-600 takes skill, I've had big Muley's spot us and jump at 800+. Being prepared to hunt your area appropriately is what it's all about and if shooting beyond 300 isn't for you that's fine. Know your equipment and your capabilities and hunt within them. [/QUOTE]
