The BAR belgian in all grades is a wonderful, accurate gun. The 308 is by far a great caliber from fox to whitetials. It does not require as much steel as larger calibers, therefore lighter. You need to find the round that best fits the gun, luckily I think the varieity of rounds available are great especially if you want to use it for a lot of species of game. Me and my 308 are in love with the hornady 150 gr sst, this round is unreal, 1 inch groups 200 yards. Last thing get a chamber brush! And watch the rounds for burs if you load and unload the gun a lot from the clip.
