I'm getting ready to purchase a Model 70 Winchester. This will be my dedicated utility, long range "sniper (so to speak)" rifle. It's going to be a standard barrel, not bull as I plan to hump through the woods alot in search of deer. It will be scoped of course. The only problem is that I'm torn between .308 and .30-06.
I already own rifles in both so ammo commonality is not an issue. I have an M1-A and FN-FAL in .308.
I have an M1 Garand and an '03-A4 Springfield in .30-06.
All are un-scoped except for the '03-A4.
The '03-A4 is almost surgically accurate, but the old Weaver 330-C just isn't powerful enough for what I'll be using the Model 70 for.
I've been told that the '06 has about 150 yards or so on the .308 and the flatter trajectory is very noticeable.
I've also been told that the '06 has about 100-150 feet per second on the .308 at 100 yards or so. So, which is it. Any input would be appreciated.
