About LinkBacksGreetings @Kiwimaverick,
My first new rifle, closing on 50 years ago, was a .308. Choice was limited at the time to that plus the .270 and .243. Other calibres were available at the time but not that common. Today I would need to decide between the .308, 7mm-08 and the 6.5 Creedmoor but for a first rifle would likely stay with the .308 with an 8 inch barrel twist due to ammo availability and ease of handloading. A little boring but effective. Probably not the answer you were hoping for.
Regards Grandpamac.
PS. We can buy other rifles in the future so your first choice is not carved in stone.
