My son in-law bought a new M-14 a few years back. Before he bought it he asked me what caliber to get it in. I told him 30-06 probably would be the best. The 308 is just about as good of a round and if the SHTF there would be more 308 ammunition "laying" around where 30-06 might be hard to find.

Well he bought the rifle in 308 and I shot it a few times. What a great rifle to shoot, accurate as hell right out of the box. We were shooting 2 liter soda bottles at 100 yards with Open sights.

The M14 only came in one caliber, .308 Winchester aka 7.62 X 51 NATO.
