A .260 or 6.5cm will be my next rifle purchased for a tops gun once I start getting back out up there.
Yes the .308 will do the job however you need a heavier pill and to load it up super hot and it still wont come close at distance. (and for record sake I own a .308 as my main hunting rifle)

Well said, is all you need to read right here.
