In days gone by the norm here was 7x57 (R), 7x64, 8x57 and 6,5x57 (R) in the mountains...then the 30.06 began to catch up, followed with .308 and 300 win.mag...

Nowadays .308 prevails between locals, among clients 30.06 and 300 win mag with an odd 300 and 270 wsm is the norm.

I carry either 8x68S for serious work + 9,3x62 for tracking wounded game and 9,3x74R for pleasure when possible.

Once Joe Doe enters the store it is all down to prices, availability and stuff...and the .308 win is the winner...big time! Having said that - back in not that old days it was considered a marginal caliber for big bears, boars and stags, however as of latest with modern loads and bulets it is hard to ignore, truth be told it is a logical choice even over long range use - I'd take it anytime.

However - having a luxury of choice not bounded to the appropriateness but a shear luxury of free choice to feel deep European - anything of Mauser (57) or Brenneke (64) descendant gives you aplenty to choose from .. then there are many other cool calibers around that are rarely seen but are as such much more interesting to have around esp. since those are usually accompanied by a distinct owners that are very alike the calibers they carry - it is a nontheless a telling sign of a true character





98mouse, you are a man of true character.
