A very good read and there doesn't seem to be anything to disagree with. I too love the .308 Winchester for all around shooting and hunting. The recoil is low enough and the rounds effectiveness is high enough to use it on just about anything in North America, with the exception of large angry bears of coarse.

if i wanted to reach out i would use a7mm,other than that you are right on.

Well, I must say you have shot a lot of rifles. The .308 is a gun that probably would bounce off of a rabbit if it was wet. I shoot nothing but 300's and 7mm's and they outperform a 308 anyday of the week.

Quite a compilation there RR. How do you like that STW? Im kinda wanting one but not too sure.
|
Im kicking around the idea of a long range hunting rifle and the STW keeps coming to mind, how would you rank it against other distance cartridges like 300 win mag or 7 mm rem mag?
|
Im willing to overlook the energy difference for a flatter shooting cartridge. How does one acquire brass for the STW?
|
The number 1 caliber they recommend for Moose is a .308 I sure wouldn't go hunting with them! It takes a couple of shots with a 300 to put down a moose. All I'm saying is: 308's don't get the job done. I've seen deer get hit and run off many a time with a 308, but hit em with a 7mm or 300 and down they go!

No factory ammo available is the only thing that may turn me off about the STW but im seriously considering it.

It doesn't take any more shots from a .308 to put down a moose than it does a .300. Truth is moose seldom collapse at the shot. I prefer my .30-06 for moose. Oh, and also, I've noticed it's mostly the magnum guys who wound deer and not the .308 guys. |
Yeah because they have a flinching problem.
