I have probably owned more rifles chambered in 308 then any other cartridge over the past 40 years. It's a great cartridge that has served me well for hunting, competition, or just plain shooting/plinking. While, over the past dozen years or so, I have switched to the the 6.5's for their ballistic performance, I continue to enjoy shooting my 308's which are in a multitude of configurations. Probably one of the most charismatic(and accurate) of my 308's is a Remington limited edition of the Vietnam era M40 Sniper, purchased about a dozen years ago. Shown at the bottom of this photo with a period Redfield 3x9 Accu-Track with mounts. Both used in sniper shoots.
