[QUOTE="Huggy, post: 2124331, member: 101145"] Given your apparent propensity to buy then sell at the drop of a hat, my personal recommendation would be to buy the Savage since it is less expensive (although you don't seem to mind dropping coin for quality) but is still a quality product. There are SO many variables to buying a new Boom Stick, not the least of which is visual appeal, that can boggle the mind. Regardless the platform my personal perspective is to go with the .30-06 caliber over the .308. Don't get me wrong, the .308 is a FINE cartridge and can take most any four-legged critter on this continent but the extra oomph the -06 gives you allows for a bit more distance, more on-target terminal effect and an even larger range of usable projectiles. Now depending on what you plan to hunt and where (mountains over plains over desert hills) the caliber gains of one over the other may not make a hill of beans, so ther is that to consider as well. It all comes down to filtering the variables for YOUR hunting style, location and range of game. In the end you could buy one of each and be a happy Man as well. 🥰 [/QUOTE]
