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.

Which gun is better and why a marlin xs7 308 Winchester a mossberg 100ATR 308 Winchester or a Remington 700 sps 308 Winchester?

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....
