$1500? Now we're talking about a working mans budget. If that's the case I would have something built up on a Rem. 700 action. I bought a Rem. 700 VS several years ago and sent it out and had a Accuracy International heavy varmint barrel put on it and also a McMillan M40A1 stock put on it so it would replicate the USMC M40A1. About the only thing that it lacks is the Unertl 10X scope and to clip-slot the receiver and it would be an exact replica of the M40A1. It shoots MOA out to 600 yards. That's as far as I've ever shot it. I think the whole package cost me $1800 so I went over the mark just a little but I'm very satisfied with it.

In a semi auto I would look at the various AR-10's available.

DPMS has a good selection of .308 Ar's thatshould easily do 600 yards if you do your part.

There are also many other manufacturers that offer very accurate AR platforms chambered in the .308 and a variety of other cartridges capable of 600 yard shots.

Didn't you ask this question a couple weeks ago?
