"....if you're even thinking of getting a 308 then you might as well get the 30-06 in my opinion."
For hunting game more robust than deer I wholeheartedly agree....
Deer size critters and underand for target shooting, the .308 is a wonderful cartridge.

From a prior note:
ORIGINAL: EKM
After six pages of debate/discussionregarding 270 vs. 308 andthe whole works may be tossed aside for a 30-30?
What was the point in the first place?
Something isn't right.
I don't see what is not right. The original poster came here looking for information, which he received, and based on that information has decided to look at other options that may or may not suit his needs just as well. To my way of thinking, this is what it is all about, sharing info and experiences with fellow hunters and shooters.
Kinda like going to a pet shop to buy a puppy, just gotta choose between a golden retriever and a golden lab.... then end up going home with a pet turtle instead.
