Need help deciding between two rifles.
1. New Savage 10FP or LNIB Remington 700P/PSS?
2a. What caliber (.308 vs. others)? The 10FP is .308 but Savage also makes a long action 110FP, and one of the Remingtons I'm considering is chambered in 300 Ultra Mag.
2b. Why is .308 seemingly the standard for tactical rifles anyway? I understand why it might be a better choice than, say, .300 RUM, mostly because the 300 RUM loses on availability and affordability. But .308 isn't that differently available or affordable than, say, .30/06.
Thanks for your opinions.
