    Keep your .308 and get something significantly different .either smaller eg .223 or longer eg 7mm mag. Or go nice .270 suppressed and keep it for the longer shot trips etc. suppressed .270 and suppressed .308 covers just about anything you could want. Years n years ago one of the gurus was asked if had to only have one rifle what would it be. Answer was long barreled .270 for South island something with good strong bolt action. And BLR in .308 for North island. I can't fault the logic.
    GSP HUNTER, BSA270, RUMPY and 2 others like this.
    75/15/10 black powder matters
