With all the hype over short mags and super mags and hot little hyper mags, is the old .308 workhorse dead? The reason I'm asking is that I'm considering buying a BLR in .308. Everything in print hypes everything else and just sort of ignores the .308. I must admit I haven't shot a .308 since the Canadian military went to the 5.56. But I do remember it as a very accurate round out of our old FNC1's. (Damm that was a nice rifle).........
What are your thoughts? Dead or alive.....
