    Never owned a 308 but know plenty who have and they love them. Absolutely nothing wrong with a Tikka in that calibre to shoot anything you'll come across.
    223 fine for shooting Wallabys but when the mob of Fallow or Reds spook at 300 yds you want to be confident of knocking one over. I've shot hundreds of Wallaby with a suppressed 270, and yes, a bit overgunned, but not when the 4 legged target walks out
    Wouldn't hesitate on a second hand Tikka if you can find one. Put a good scope on it with the money you save from buying new, and you're away.......then start reloading
