270 Winchester is one of the most versatile rifles on the market. While the round's performance does begin to suffer at longer ranges, with a lighter 125 grain bullet, it can still be effective against smaller game at 300 or more yards. The . 30-06 was also used by the U.S. military in World War II.

They are both . 30 caliber, however, they don't use the same bullet diameter. The 308 has a bullet diameter of 0.308 inches. The 7.62×39 is actually a feather more, at 0.312 inches in diameter.

The ArmaLite 10, or AR10 for short; came into existence about 30 years before the LR308; however, it's much less popular today. Easily differentiated from the LR308, the AR10 has an angular cut on the upper receiver's lower right side before the buffer tube housing, where the LR308's is rounded.

If you truly need the extra power and accuracy at the range or need something that's going to impart the maximum amount of force to a target at any range, the AR-10 may be the better choice. Personally, I like the AR-10 better for those long shots, or if I'm hunting dangerous game up close.

The largest difference between the AR-10 and the LR-308 is their receiver design. While Armalite uses its distinct slant-cut receiver, the LR-308 uses a more traditional rounded receiver, nearly identical to the design of the AR-15, but scaled up to handle full-power rifle rounds.

308 Win is unquestionably the most common AR-10 chambering, bar none. It is a timeless classic, meaning you can find ammo and components for your rifle practically everywhere. The . 308 Win packs enough punch to take down black bears, elk, wild hogs, and, of course, deer.
