[QUOTE="Nicholas, post: 22269, member: 281"] I think it is because the 308 win is a universal round used in dozens of military rifles. And ammunition is widely available for it. If a sniper runs out of ammo in the middle of the battlefield he could borrow some rounds from the M60 machinegunner, they may not be as accurate but they will do the job. Also Snipers like to fire tracers during an ambush so the ground soldiers know where to shoot. Another plus for the 308 win is the longer barrel life. I shoot 308 win. and my brother-in-law loves the 7mm mag but I think he is a real idiot so maybe I am a little biased. [/QUOTE]
