    Welcome Rodsta.
    A forum trip to Clements Mill Road could be a go one day. Some relaxed hunting, bbq and a few beers at night to meet and greet a few of the guys/girls would be good one day I reckon.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Nothing to do with the caliber all the rifle and shooter.

    308 and 7mm08 are so close to the same thing it doesn't matter.

    Buy a rifle you like in which ever cal.
    "Hunting and fishing" fucking over licenced firearms owners since ages ago.

    308Win One chambering to rule them all.

    That is very pragmatic advice VC.
