I agree. Plus if you already have a 30.06 you're only gonna have to buy one caliber bullet and most likely the same weight. Since both a 308 and 30.06 were designed around the 165 to 168gr bullet. As far as recoil difference between the 6.5 and 308. I have a remington 700 tactical that came with a hogue stock from the factory. It takes alot of the recoil out so you can shoot alot without it being painful. I know this may cause some disgust but to me the 6.5 is a fad and will fade away to where there's the possibility of brass being harder to find whereas the 308 is a tried and true cartridge and most likely be around forever. My thought is. If its not broke don't try to fix it.
