Currently I use a savage 110 in the 7mm rem mag version, really want to go back to the 308, cheaper to shoot, still has power to hunt the game in washington area, also have military back ground on this rifle, but have been seen alot of other choices like the savage 01 in the 300 win mag, not so cheap to shoot but damn it looks nice, so with the two factors, cheap to shoot, and damn factor, what do you think is good? staying under 1200 bucks?. pros and cons

I would go with either an older Remington 700 PSS or newer model SPS Tactical in .308. These are both excellent precision platforms that won't break the bank and easily modified (at your leasure), and combined with the right optics can be fine tuned very easily into a sub .5 MOA shooter.

What about an AR chambered in .308? Like maybe the Remington R25... Centerfire Rifle - Model R-25 Rifle - Remington Centerfire Rifles |

I have a remington model 660 it was probably made between 1968 and 1971. It was the precursor to the 700's It is in .308, and it is a badass little bush gun. It shoots very well.. and I dont mind dragging it around in the pissing rain.. and mud/dirt.. etc etc. The 700 is a great platform, and .308 winchester is a badass round to shoot off of it. You can start a 700 fairly inexpensively then get ridiculous.. so it's a fun one to own over time. |

Yep biggest one yet, There's an old guy that catches them more than my brother and I he recorded a 67 incher, mine personal best is 57 inches, my brother and I plan to break it this year with are super secret bait and location, ok not really just look for a blue sled or 14' tracker with "Trout Sniffers" on the side of it This one broke everything I had by doing a death role, 50 pound braided line, 60 steel leader, Okuma pole, all broken  Found this beast under our dock feeding on ducklings  by the way nice jack | |

That's when you shoot the fucker and jump in after him!!! I know you were close enough, you got a picture to proove it!  BTW- To keep with the thread, I literally just got the Rem 700 SPS in .308 for my Valentine's Day present from the Fiance :) Still has not been fired as I need to put a scope on it, but a trip to Cabela's tomorrow or monday should fix that :) Last edited by FISHER1; 03-11-2010 at 12:59 PM. | |
