For me, the 308 is something I remember learning on w/ my dad. Well, first it was a little .22, then later, after some real lessons, and some range safety, the 308. But that one has some personal meaning and history.

My first rifle was a .243 and then reasonably quickly I also bought a .308 which I really loved. I've never been much into .22's and didn't learn on one, although I recommend people do.
For us, around here, it's a natural progression. the .22 as many families have one for kids. Then, other calibers. In fact, oddly, my first was actually a .22 over a .20 ga. Shotgun. Although, dad never let us use the shotgun until we learned weapons safety, technique, etc, w/ the .22
