I feel like such a fake, i dont have a 308!

Dang first centre rifle aye, thought a .223 would be a good start

I have owned a .270 before. Have looked at a nice .243 Ruger but from what I've heard might be a bit on the light calibre side of things.

308 is sounding good.

Are you going to reload for it ?

270 , 6.5 x 55 , 308

If this is to be a hunting rifle then my personal pick would be the 270 , there is a reason why it's highly regarded worldwide as a hunting round .
If your going to do a lot of shooting at the range as well as hunting get the 308 .
If your happy to do everything in a traditional , understated , efficient way , then get the 6.5 x 55 .

What you going to use it for ??

223 is great entry rimfire
Cheap to run
Good for kids
A killer

.223 isn't rimfire

Centre fire !!!!

You're pretty sharp for someone who doesn't know Fonzie.

Have you bought one yet Dundee??

Got some wild hoggets at the run off

223 would do the job assuming you can shoot straight.

Get a faster barrel twist rate so you can shoot heavier rounds easily. 1:8.

Nice a cheap to run and very versatile.
