RE: Deer Hunting With a .308
The 308 SUCKS.
I personaly prefer to use my Gammo pellet gun in .22 caliber. I try to keep the range under 300 yards and only shoot for the eye. the 308 is a very good caliber. |
RE: Deer Hunting With a .308
My dad hunts with the .308. It is a great caliber, puts a nice hole in the deer which is not to big or not to small

RE: Deer Hunting With a .308
It is a great round that has spawned the 7mm/08, 260and 243. Which are probably as good if not better for deer as well. IMO, I would use the 243 for deer and lopes, 7mm/08 for Mulies and Elk and 308 for anything larger.. But that is just because I have a rifle in each caliber and I really hate to leave one in the safe too long before I use them.. I wouldn't want them to feel neglected.. :D

Now you just need to get a quality scope and you will be set.

ORIGINAL: rustydale Wow, this rifle I bought is making me feel better and better, I think I'm in love!! I bought mySavage 110 in .308 used and then put a nice Bushnell 3-9x40 scope on it. Once I got the scope zeroed in, I went back to the range with a buddy of mine who has a real nice stable bench rest. We locked the Savage .308 into his bench rest and at 100 yards, my rifle printed a 3 round cloverleaf dead center in the bullseye. I couldn't believe it... The he suggested going 4 clicks up on elevation, so it's now 1" high at 100 yards. Long story short, the .308 is anincredibly accurate, legendary, round. Heck, military snipers still usethe 7.62 NATO (.308) and have done so for years and years. [8D] |
RE: Deer Hunting With a .308
I use mostly my 30-06 for deer hunting, but I have also used the .308 occasionally. Both are good caliber for about anything.

RE: Deer Hunting With a .308
I hate to break the trend of compliments, but I have to knock the .308
Once you buy one, its hard to justify buying anything else for North American game. A man cant have to many fishing poles or long guns.....;) Scott |
RE: Deer Hunting With a .308
I have one. It's a really good caliber, but I still prefer my .270. I still take my .308 out occasionally though. I have killed quite a few deer with it and if it weren't for the .270, it would be my to go gun. The .308 is a great choice.
