[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 241785, member: 8"] What is the animal that you want to hunt? That will influence the caliber choice. While the 308 is a very accurate round and is very gentle on the barrel, it is not the choice for really windy conditions. In calm conditions I would not hesitate to shoot a deer at 800 yards with a 308, but with winds that range is greatly reduced. Some good practice and hunting rounds are the 243, 260, 7-08. They have some very good long range bullets available. I would keep the scope. [/QUOTE]
