Re: needin help choosing a rifle/caliber

I choose the .308 Win over the 30-06. My choice for the rifle is the Remington 700.

The .308 Win has ballistics that are very close to the 30-06.
The .308 Win equals or surpasses the accurary of the 30-06.
The .308 Win has a shorter bolt throw than the 30-06.
The .308 Win shoots 7.62×51mm NATO so the availability of ammo is assured for many years.
The .308 Win has a greater variety of bullet choices.

IMO, the Remington 700 equals or surpasses the Savage or Ruger in function, quality, machining and aesthetics. The Remington 700 has a good selection of options for barrel lengths and styles as well as choices for different stocks.

BTW, I am prejudice. Can you guess what I own? ;-)
