Yes, I agree. Feeding a .308 can be expensive. I think about the video you posted a while back where you shot multiple hogs with your bolt gun. You did a great job with that rifle, and I don't believe I could've made that last shot you did and I was an aerial gunnery instructor. So, I can't help but think that a semi auto would make it easier for me to make follow up shots. I still have that old Remington 788 for when I need a bolt gun.
