Thread: A Rifle for Almost Everything.

It's quite amazing how similar a lot of the new cases are to something that has already been. Maybe slightly improved. Shows the power of good marketing. And that boys love their good.
I tried to go as different as possible with my latest modern offering by getting a 6.5 grendel. Falls right between the 223 and 708

It seems to work for new cars... Here is last years model with 1hp more, 5nm more torque and a slight face lift... that will be $60,000 thanks

Remember the more sunlight you can let inside a deer the quicker it will die.

Agreed. A 260, Creedmoor, or 6.5 Lapua would be hard to beat if you had to have just one rifle. But the 308 is very efficient for 95% of the hunting that I do, so no need to change

my poohseventy did it all for years...bought a .223 so I could do wallaby shooting cheaper and with less recoil....
still love both rifles...
sort of inherited a .308 by default (long painful story) and rather like it too....funny how its slightly longer and heavier than either of the other 2 but is getting used as my bush rifle LOL.
it is a lot easier to load down to do a specific job than to load hotter.....

pooforpee pooseventy and peeohpee

pooforpee=twoforfree=EBRG.....

If I can only keep one rifle it would be my 308.
Common and readily available.
Wide range of shootable projectile weights.
Can load it down, can load it hot.
Most importantly it just knocks things down at any reasonable range.

Snap shot below from the Reloaders Website sums it up pretty well.

Just might go in my 30-06 too.

Now here's a thought, pilgrims.......when Princess Jacinda sweeps back into power with a huge majority, and deals to us lower life forms that like to play with "real" guns, by limiting us to 2 firearms only ("tell 'im 'es dreaming!")...what will you choose?? Go on, play along with my fantasy....

*waiting patiently for next must have caliber to come along... *

....obviously I’m not worth any salt then...,or trendy.... I use fit for purpose.

This ones quite cool. Has it's limitations though.

If you don't hit and kill it you probably scare it to death, burn it or kill it with smoke inhalation.

Although I don't fully agree with Jeff cooper's scout rifle concept, I do agree with his choice of calibre .308 and wouldn't say no to a styer scout.

Having been raised on a diet of Phillip Holden books how can one go past a Sako .243?

.270 and .223 if allowed shotgun too...if not...life gets hard really quickly....both those rifles have taken one hell of alot of animals for me.

when guns are outlawed...only outlaws will own guns

as relevant today as it has ever been.
