carpie, so many choices. Hard to pick from Browning, Rem 700 BDL, Win. Mod 70, Tikka, Sako, Savage and so on. It really boils down what fits you personally, both in gun and price. I have had nothing but good things with a 308 Rem 700BDL and my buddy loves his Abolt by browning also in a 308. Haven' t heard anything but Tikka' s are shooters and now all I hear about on here is Savage( " Maybe by ugly but are shooters as well" ). So I guess the long and short is almost every way you turn you' ll probably end up a happy camper...go with your heart and what feels so sweat you can' t put it back on the rack. You' ll be happy, I' m sure.

Something to keep in mind if you have a budget is the scope, don' t buy a SAKO and then drop a piece of junk glass on the top. Much better to go cheaper, reliable gun with a great piece of glass on top, JIMHO. If the vault is open than all I can say is have fun and disregard this last statement
