i too have been recently looking for a 308 and bein a remington man i dont like to stray but they dont really make a whole lot in 308 so i went to the next i thought of and found the american and i like how it looks but the euro is a bit nicer believe if you like the monte carlo its definetly better. the american is nice but i believe i will get the euro if i decide to go the the 308. is it me or does the euro look bout the same as a rem. bdl
