[QUOTE="7magcreedmoor, post: 1031958, member: 48559"] With high BC bullets like a Berger VLD 140, the Creedmoor is going to be easier to use well in the wind, and have noticeably less recoil. To get a comparable BC in a .30 cal you have to get pretty heavy, and in a 308 you give up a lot of velocity. Barrel life is theoretically less with the CM, but if you don't run it white-hot you should be having fun for a long time to come. I have a Ruger M77 with a 25.5 inch varmint contour barrel and a brake, total weight right at 10 pounds, and it is a real sweetheart to shoot all day. [/QUOTE]
