I thought that the .308 was a rifle/catridge that had no place next to a .30-06 or any WSM in a hunter's safe........boy was I wrong! My dad gave me an ADL in .308 for my B-day a few years back. It fast became my favorite rifle to shoot! I have taken it deer, elk, and coyote hunting. I even shot a 350 yrd shot at a prairie dog! It was very windy, and very far for a standing shot (I used a pod), but I did it, and got many "wows!" Not a typical shot, but I shoot this gun at the range every time I go. It basically tags along for different sessions, on bench or in the field. IMO, there are better guns for specific tasks, and I love them all, but I love the .308 for a general purpose rifle. Even over my .30-06 (don't let her hear that! I have shot that one for 20 years now!)
Just my 2 cents. Thanks for listening.
