There are a lot more options available in 308 than 7.62x39, but all of you know that already, probably better than I do. (FWIW, I received a Remington Model 600 Carbine 308 as a Christmas present in about 1965. I think it was around $90 new; those days are long gone; and I loved it, but it's report could wake the dead and it had a huge cone of flame every time I fired it, especially at dusk. It had a substantial recoil, too, and it did not have any recoil pad, only a more or less flat piece of plastic at the butt. I was the human shock absorber of its recoil.)
Anyway, very lately I've discovered some really fantastic looking bolt action rifles with collapsible stocks (BCL TRX Bronco Hunter, Sig Sauer Cross, etc. etc.), but sometimes the only available calibers for them are 308 and 6.5 Creedmoor. Is there any 308 ammo out there that basically tames the wild beast that the 308 can be? I shoot targets, so I really don't care about depth of penetration or shock cavities in gel, or its ability to kill game efficiently. This will be a nice fun-gun for me to take to an indoor range every so often, with some time in between admiring a beautiful piece of engineering.
Thanks for any suggestions.
