Hi all,
I'm considering a Ruger Precision rifle and my local shop has a .308 in stock. I understand that the 6.5 is now all the rage and many are moving to it. I have shot 30-06 out of a Ruger American rifle so that is my only reference point recoil wise. I'm looking for a rifle like the RPR that won't beat up my shoulder, is a pleasure to shoot and takes standard mags rather then propriety mags.
That said can I get some pros and cons of going with the RPR chambered .308 vs getting one in 6.5 ? Does 308 have more recoil etc...
