I have been borrowing my hunting buddies rifle the last couple hunting seasons. I finally bought my own. After some research and handling different rifles within in my price range I settled on a .308 Ruger American with a Cabelas 3x12x40 scope.

My first hunting rifle was a .308 I don't use that gun anymore but often think about buying a .308 again

Congratulations! Hard to go wrong with a .308.
Have you taken it to the range yet and put it through it's paces?

308 is terribly boring and terribly effective for most things you need to do with a rifle.

What he said. OMG! Golf allows you to carry 14 specialized weapons, why not shooting? Bwahaha!
