The 308 gets a lot of respect in the ballistic charts good choice.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

Nice! My model 70 in 308 was made in 1953 but it has that boring walnut stock. I may have to spray paint it black or camo.
I have nothing clever to put here.

Good choice on the XPR. Many of these new rifles have such an easy bolt lift that high grass or slight contact will lift the bolt and if the rifle is on your shoulder the bolt opens and cartridge is ejected.
The XPR has a locking bolt. I would not buy a new rifle without that feature.
