I had a Winchester M14 for many years that I shot some in Service Rifle Comps out here. Used my SLR (L1A1) more and somewhat preferred it ... the M14 was a more natural rifle on the range though.
And yes, the .308 round is probably close to my favourite as well, I have two as well as a .300Win and .375 H&H that I hunt with. Each has their place and limitations but that Sako gets more time out bush with me than any other these days.. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
