[QUOTE="SolarYellow, post: 6755534, member: 31223"] I wasn't aware that you buy a firearm primarily for its beauty. I like to buy a firearm for its functionality. You seem a bit ill-informed so let me try and offer you a few thoughts. Quite a few snipers use a 308. Why? For one, compare the knockdown power of a fairly high grain cartridge to that of a smaller, assault cal (.223). If I had to shoot a far distance (which snipers usually do), I'd want to shoot as flat as possible while still maintaining energy. The AR "assault" weapons are deadly accurate with .223/5.56mm but if I am shooting hundreds of meters, I'd prefer something else. Cartridges are usually cheaper for these "assault" weapons. .223 ammo is cheap. 5.56mm x 45mm is also cheap. None of my "wood stocked remington" or "bolt action" rifles can be shot as cheap. [/QUOTE]
