You ask if you need a gun, on a gun forum?
Absolutely you should own a .308...
unless you end up with a @Threadcutter308
then I would demand a refund...

.308 is the caliber of toxic masculinity . .308 in Latin means Mansplain . .308 will make your skinny jeans baggy kakis . .308 is the cause of male aggresssion and the glass ceiling. If you own a .308 it is illegal to bump uglies with your boyfriend .
You'd better . The MSM will abuse that like Woody Allen and an adopted Asian girl .
Well boys, got a RPR in 308 coming. Getting some Peterson brass for it tomorrow and already have hundreds of 168bthp and 8# of h4895
Uh oh. Here come the platform critics... 3,2,1...
You mean like everyone who's going to suggest he should have bought hundreds of 175s instead of 168s?
he had them left over from older rifles he no longer owns.
i have never sold a firearm. plenty of takers when i go.
I don’t understand why when people get into a sport or hobby they want to get the easiest platform that does all of the work for you. Like people that buy an ultra-light road bike with a shitload of gears to exercise and stay fat but now it’s worse because they fat around in spandex and you have to hear about their bike. Get a shitty huffy from sears, let the air out of the tires, and ride it 20 miles a day. guaranteed weight loss. Same thing with a .308 or .30-06, it forces you to learn to do things right or it hurts you and you miss a lot.
Everyone needs a.308, pretty sure it says it in Ephesians or amphibians or one of those early bible books.

I was going to sell the 168s for 175s but figured at worst, I need a moa gun for this match.. and if I can’t get hits at 500 with 168s, I’ve got bigger problems than needing to change bullets
No, a Win model 92 lever rifle (not carbine) and a SAA revolver in color case hardening and in .357 Mag is the bomb. I'll post pics if I could ever figure out how to so so.
Don't laugh, I got three of them. 2- 308's and 1- 6.5 Creedmoor. Let us know what your load ends up to be? Just curious?
are people that big of pussies about recoil? maybe y'all been shooting 22s too much?
i've shot hundreds of rounds from a .308 gas gun in a day and wasn't remotely bothered.
otoh, my winchester model 88 kicks like a fucker. i am tempted to put a pussy pad on that guy.

Sure .308 recoil is plenty manageable, but if everybody used effective cartridges like 7mm-08 .308, .280 rem, and .30-06, we wouldn’t have an opportunity for 157 threads asking if a 95 gr FMJ from a $3000 custom 30 pound 6brx is ok for killing grizzly at 1370 yards. And if everybody learned how to do positional shots or shorts off a backpack like we used to, there wouldn’t be a market for ultralight tripods, tactical bean bags, and all the other doodads that you have to buy in order to finish mid pack at a PRS event (what would we do with all of our spare cash?)
OK, only boomers shoot 308s.

In my sniper platoon we train near exclusively on the. 308 despite having 300 win mags. I think its an amazing training tool. Learn to call wind on that and you'll think anything else is cheating.
I'm using it....and I'm not paying royalties. I'll see you in court sir.
Ah ha ha hahah a hha a.....

Naw dude you got that all wrong, it's the fresh ammo. Nothing more nothing less
Went shooting with some of my buddies today. TRG 22, FGMM 175-SMKs. 1230-yards. First shot was a cold bore miss, bad wind call on my part. Four more shots, Impact, Impact, Impact, and Impact. No problem!
Bullshit, you can't hit anything with a .308 Win, the internet says so.
S/F brother...
I totally disagree.
I have a CZ455 with a long and slightly thin barrel.
It´s the most demanding rifle I have skillwise.
If you pull the trigger or do any shooting mistake, the bullet flies off the target.
take the average 6.5 creedmore shooter who shoots ".5MOA all day"
give them a 22lr and they shoot very well
give those same guys a unbraked 300WM and they wont shoot 1.5 moa at 100
seen that alot more than the other way around
hell...my kids can shoot my 22lr .5MOA at 50 yards . so much so that i now use the 50 KYL rack at 100 because the 100 was too easy after a while
my 10 year old cant shoot my big center fire stuff (both AX chassis or AX rifle so its not the stock fit)
its all recoil management, the bigger the recoil the more "perfect" recoil management is needed.
Alot of fundamental issues with a shooter can be hidden by a "better" caliber. Get the. 308, build the gun around you and by the time you shoot that barrel out you might be ready for a 260 rem swap. There's so much more than caliber, training and availability are not replaceable
Honestly I would tell you but I've been a seal ranger sniper cag for so long its super classified.
