With the right bullet it will far exceed the effective range of a .308 whether you're wanting to target shoot or hunt. It carries a lot more energy farther out due to higher BC bullets and more velocity. If you use the factory 140gr AMAX bullets it pretty much will outperform the .308 in everything except it makes a bit smaller hole.
You won't be disappointed! Good choice!
My link - fu is weak, but there are a couple of excellent threads that go into detail on the Creeedmore. One or two of the mods here have used it extensively.
