Everyone I know that’s even a semi serious shooter are selling their 308s or rebarreling to 6.5 creedmoor. There’s no point in hindering one’s self right out of the gate.

Walt and Larry make a great team. Retired Senior NCOs are the best, in my not so humble opinion!

Fun article, but for 98% of us the rifle is more accurate than the shooter.

Target shooting is a different story, but those guys, if serious, are doing things we would never do, e.g. tailor the load (powder type, primer type, bullet type to the specific rifle).

Some calibers are inherently more accurate than others, e.g. .375, but the build quality of the rifle and rate of twist of the barrel are more important than the caliber.

What a crock! How about a 700 Remington vs a M1A1,out of the box and fitted with the same scopes. You could call it “Sport rifle vs battle rifle”.

That should be enough to rig the test.

For deer hunting.. Remington 308 Model 700 BDL has always been my favorite gun.

I am still young enough to be concerned about a round that burns out a barrel in a thousand to fifteen hundred rounds.

Neither for me. I prefer levers, e.g., .308 BLR or .30-06 1895.
