[QUOTE="Caleb, post: 675123, member: 50892"] This is kinda what I was trying to get at. While the .308 has its place, I just really believe there are too many better options for hunters. The drop that we have to compensate for at 400yds and beyond would be a lot to deal with in the field. I know that the .308 has its following but we often put lesser marksmen behind lesser rifles of a superior cartridge and get on target at longer ranges better than we can with the 5R. While you cant argue with the .308's inherent accuracy, and history, sometimes a flatter trajectory is easier to work with, especially while hunting at variable and intermediate ranges. If I run across the rifle while at a gun show for a good price, I would pick it up, but there are better hunting set ups for less money that would be easy to build on. [/QUOTE]
