But set-up correctly it is a fantastic shooting round. Just make sure you have a 1000 yard range around otherwise its dumb.

If you want a general purpose gun that you can also take to matches then get the .308 for all the reasons everyone mentioned above. You aren't going to take your 6.5 hunting.
