Just started looking into rifles mainly for targets and have been told I want a 223. I know i want to go the bolt action route. I see alot of used 308's for sale. A couple questions I have is 1.) Is there a reason for all the 308's for sale?
Since you are looking at bolt action rifles, I'd say it's because so many .223 rifles are semi-automatic.

2.) Which one has the better accuracy at 800+ yards?
I've no personal experience in the matter. I've heard it argued both ways.

3.) In your opinion which is the better caliber and what manufacturer is the better?
I like .223 because it's cheaper and it doesn't hurt my shoulder. Together it means I can shoot more.
