I'm thinking of buying a Tikka 308. I've never shot a 308 but I want something I can hunt Yotes with with its not deer season but hunt deer with also. I know ammo is very easy to come by. Whats all of your thoughts?
Well, you pretty much have nailed it. The .308 will work just fine on Coyotes and other vermin (with the proper bullet choice) and extremely well on deer sized game. Ammo isvery easy to come by and it's an inherently accurate round.
I own a lot of rifles.....a lot, and the .308 is one of my favorites and stillmy "go to rifle" for most of my rifle hunting. Sure there are many other calibers out there that will do the job just as good (if not better)but when you take all of the other variables into consideration the .308 is hard to beat.
Good luck with your choice.
