The US Army defines the maximum effective range of a .308 as 800 meters. The US Marine Corps defines the effective range as 1000 meters. There will be variances due to things like bullet weight, barrel length, etc. Generally speaking, bullets are no longer effective once they become subsonic, which happens at around 1000 meters with a .308.
Effective on what? I can tear paper with confidence at 600 yards...on coyote im comfortable out to 450, you can hit them further but your round is running out of steam amd a less than ideal hit will lead to loss of that animal. Smaller varmints you can still put a hurting on out to 600+ yards.........if you can hit them and the wind doesnt send your round a mile off course. Over all its a solid 500 yard round in the right hands. I love it!
Marlin makes a .308
Yes, but it might be called the xs7.
Well to be honest im a Marlin Man and a Certified Gunsmith,however while the Marlin has a worse trigger pull than the Remmy,i've seen more burnt out barrels from the Remingtons than any other guns,while my my Marlin 336's and 308mx see action at the range constantly.The Mossberg will be the first to have the parts to become obsolete.Accuracy is a toss-up between the XS7 and 700 SPS,while I know they're both capable of taking the Mossberg,due to it has the worst chamber reaming and head spacing of the other two.Im gonna go with the Marlin with the aftermarket RifleBasix Trigger....
