Looking for a precision rifle for all purpose use. I'm not going to be shooting over 500yds very much and I'm not looking to compete.
I am pretty set on a .308 since it's about as common a round as there is and there's not much you can't kill with it under 1k yards.
Everyone and their brother is talking about 6.5c as though it's the only way to go and 308 is a relic. I say... Meh...
What say ye?
EDIT: if the barrel life I am reading is true, 308 barrels last 3 times as long... That's a big deal to me. A barrel that's only good for 2000-2500 rounds is of no interest to me.
