Re: .308s in my life.
My favorite 308 is a Winchester 70 Featherlight!
I bought it used with a 3X9 Nikon Buckmaster scope.
After two shots fire at 100 yards, it was one ragged hole!

Re: Got a new shotgun.
About a month ago my local gun shop had a pristine model 37 in stock! it had the red lettering {Winchester} on the bottom of the receiver. I think it was in 20 gauge if memory serves me correctly.
The price was $500! seems like quite a bit of sheckle's for a basic single shot!
