Marlin makes a .308
A lever action rifle chambered in .308 Winchester.
The 308 caliber guns are more expensive than 5.56 assault rifles.
Some common caliber's used for hunting are .308, 30-06. It all depends on what you are hunting. Personally I would recommend a .308, especially for a beginner. It's a common enough round and there are a number of widely supported rifles that can be chambered in .308. In addition it's somewhat on the smaller end of big game caliber's, if you plan on just getting small game or varmint hunting you might look into something smaller, but if not stay above .308.
The Baikal is chambered in .223, .308, .30-06, and .222
There is no such cartridge as a ".308" weatherby, only a .308 Winchester, interchangable with the 7.62 Nato. Once upon a time, Weatherby only made rifles in unique weatherby cartridge calibers, eg. .300 weatherby, .378 weatherby, .460 weatherby, etc. Now weatherby makes rifles in many non-weatherby cartridge calibers, including the .308 Winchester. Do not confuse a rifle manufacturer with the company name that may have introduced the cartridge in which the rifle may be chambered. To further get your head spinning, many cartridge companies make cartridges (all equivalent) in the .308 Winchester caliber including Winchester, Remington, federal, norma, and multiple European companies. The short answer is yes they are the same. If you see a weatherby rifle chambered in .308, (and not .308 Norma Magnum), it is a .308 Winchester caliber (Winchester rifles exist in .308 Winchester caliber). The weatherby rifle is most likely a weatherby 'Vangard' model (a cheaper line of rifles manufactured by weatherby). Top of the line weatherby model rifles are noted for their high prices, ornate stocks and high power weatherby calibers (the .460 weatherby magnum is the most powerful factory cartridge in the world, about 80% more muzzle energy than the .458 Winchester magnum, first sold in Winchester's African model 70 rifle).
Several dozen different rifles- it is a very popular caliber for hunting, target shooting, and military use,
Yes it is, it uses a .30 caliber bullet which makes it a 30 caliber
Are you sure that your rifle is chambered in .308 Win.caliber?The .308 Win.caliber was not introduced until 1957.It could be that your rifle was rechambered to this caliber by a gunsmith sometime after 1956.As far as a value,I could not determine this without a more detailed description of your rifles overall condition,make and any special features that could be present.
A variety of rifles use the 7.62 Nato (.308) caliber bullet (not to be confused with the Soviet 7.62 used in many of the AK series of rifles, this round has a shorter cartridge length and is not compatible with rifles chambered for the imperial .308 round), while it has fallen out of favor as a main battle rifle round in western armies and was replaced by the 5.56 Nato round it is still used in specialized applications (sniping) and is used extensivly by hunters.
NO. It is too long. If you mean 7.62x54R, the R means RIMMED- .308 is rimless. Two totally different rounds from different centuries. 308 is 7.62x51
No way to answer without more information on both rifles.
