Graham Henry did an article back in late 80s/early 90s titled "why not the .308"...Ive still got the rod n rifle mag its in somewhere
he made some really good points about how gun writers are constantly trying this or that yet old faithful sitting in the corner can do the job just as well with no fuss or bother.
I started with a open sighted 30/30 then swapped it for a bolt action .270...Ive used that rifle for 30 years now and it doesnt let me down....yes Ive got other rifles..a .223 for wallabies that keeps tipping over pigs n the odd deer..a super short 7.62x39mm BHSR and finally a bolt action .308 which is pretty much a duplicate of the poohseventy...its just diferent.
some guys get married to a woman and stick together for life...... not a lot different really,its often the devil you know that is best .
