    Buying first rifle - Lf caliber advice

    Wait, 308 can be used for 260? What about recoil? How much stronger is than 6.5 or 260? Sako said 6.5x55 will have almost same lifetime (barrel) as 308. Interesting there is almost non top competitors using 308. But what is the buzz around those new bullets, for better BC? Sent from my iPhone...

    Buying first rifle - Lf caliber advice

    Greg, thank you for replay. So 308 isn't that bad for 400-500m shooting? Or is just caliber that "can" shoot up to 700-800 m ? As Tyler said is a classic car in 2017? As I say, 260 will be out of game for me, since it is hard to get it. I really have no experience with those 2 or any caliber...

    Buying first rifle - Lf caliber advice

    But where do you see 6.5x47 on Tikka brochure ? They don't have it available in this caliber. Only.260 or 6.5x55. For Tikka T3X CTR, you have only 223, 260 or 308, but 260 is pain to get it, at least in Eu. So if I pick ctr I would have to take 308. For varmint is more options, but still 6.5x55...

I think today guns are made for shorter life time cose companies want to sell more. If they would made life time rifles = no profit. Like cars and other things. But...
