[QUOTE="orifdoc, post: 2621450, member: 115070"] I think there are places and times where the .308 is a wonderful choice. PG hunting in Africa is one of them. Most African PHs will not be terribly excited if you show up with a fast, ballistically superior "small bore." Most of them are rather disinterested in anything that happens beyond 300 yards. They tend to prefer larger, relatively slow bullets, and they have plenty of reasons to think this way. For the majority of hunting on that continent, long range hunting is a minor consideration. Certainly this perception is gradually changing, but In the realm of "tame 300", the .308 excels. There is no end to the number of bullet options in .308. My PH in Africa carries a .308 Tikka as his backup gun for PG hunts and does not hesitate to use it on eland or even in the rare situations when a lion or leopard needs a hole in it. [/QUOTE]
