I don't know if I necessarily subscribe, but money and time being what it is, that's pretty much how it is. I bought my .308 over two years ago now, and when I did, I did it knowing that I wanted to at least try to go all the way with it; hunt, target, reload. It has served its purpose with 4 whitetail and about a dozen coyotes under it's belt, while shooting golf balls at 300 yards during the summer.

I bought a .223 AR15 'varmint rig', but honestly, I think it's been out of the safe twice in the last 6 months. I enjoy shooting the .308 so much I could probably let the AR go. The only reason it was purchased in the first place was the thought that I could buy a carbine upper and have a kit of sorts; flat top heavy barrel scoped and some kind of piston or DI 16". Haven't gotten around to the second half of that equation yet.
