You might want to consider an upgrade to a 30/06. It is a bit more versatile that the .308 regarding the number of loads you can buy or work up and packs a little more punch.

Plus the AMMO virtually universal in the US.

I love my Model 70 Winchester 30/06.

Check it out.

I have a ‘new’ pre-64 Winchester 70 in ‘06 I bought in 1995. It has possibly the roughest bore I’ve ever seen straight from a factory. Got a decent scope on it.

In September of 2011 I shot a 3-shot, center to center group of 1.10” at 168 yards.

I didn’t think that was too bad for an old geezer (66 at the time) and whoever sees the target on the freezer door agrees.
