While I don't have one.... the .308 is a great all around cartridge, and certainly arguments can be made it is one of the best ever. It can do 99% of anything most folks would use it for. I think the reason its not as popular is because of all the other options out there, especially with so many magnums these days. Too many folks think you need the most power you can get, or you cant possibly kill anything. I've personally seen a shift away from magnums with all the guys I know, they are now shooting 7mm-08, .243, .308, etc.
