Is the 308 dead?

[KenLee]

3 of the last 5 rifles I've bought are 308s. Have enough good hunting ammo to last myself and son for life.. I just prefer a 300wsm.

Silly question to me.

The ammo is ubiquitous for factory ammo shooters.

That cartridge is good for most anything within 300 yds for most people with good bullets and further for those that ring steel at 600, 800, etc.

Makes for a very capable AR-10 cartridge. My suppressed 16" SFAR is one of my favorite short hunting range weapons.

I still have Dad's Win 88 lever 308. I should bust that out, put a decent scope on it and use it next season for a tag. Wonder if someone could rebarrel it so I can suppress it.

I have zero use for a .308, haven’t even shot anything with my 30-06 for six years….. but if I came across a good deal on an 88, I’d have a hard time not buying it. They’re some neat old guns.

I have 1 left in the safe for subs and ammo shortages. I don't use it for much though and it's a good backup. I don't think I'd be buying a new one anytime soon though. I really need to pars out the collection and decide what to keep for an investment, sentimental value and actual use.

Ridiculous question. It’s alive and well and still a wonderful choice for nearly any and all NA game.

If I could only have one cartridge it would be top of the list.
