I generally do not use optics on my rifles. Instead I choose to use peep sights with usually an improved front sight than stock. Therefore the GSR would fit my wishes. I am asking for opinions on the caliber preference for general shooting at the range. Hunting is no longer something I do very much with a rifle.
I already own and enjoy plinking with my AR15 and Mini 14 in the .223/5.56 caliber. The AR is what it is, and the Mini 14 satisfies my Garand action urge for the most part.
I am thinking about a Ruger GSR rifle in my future. Do I continue with the fun in .223/5.56 or start a whole new caliber for me in the .308? Do you find yourself shying away from the higher caliber powers with age and physical decline? The 5.56 ammo is fast and cheaper than .308. Any different fascination with the larger .308 cartridge that I a missing and makes it more fun?
