So I was going to buy a Stevens 200 30-06 with a camo stock and Bushnell scope for $399 well they are sold out of the 30-06 I had cabela's look at different stores and they found one a hour and a half from my house at another store in a .308 that I called and put on hold.

but I was doing some thinking because cabela's also had a Remington 700 in a 30-06 with a cabela's brand scope for $559.

money is a issue but does any one think its worth the extra money

I prefer 30-06 over .308 they seam to be completely the same until you get to a higher grain for bear and moose (highly unlikely I will hunt either but I like to know I can).

the cabela's scope was much clearer than the Bushnell scope.

this will be my deer riffle and I don't plan on doing a lot of shooting with it maybe 20 shots a year. But its a investment and plan to have it for many years

p.s. this will be my first riffle so I don't know much.

keep in mind its a extra $20 in gas to buy the Stevens 200

I have been doing research on that hole .308 vs 30-06 debate but if you think the .308 is better or have something to add then add away.

any other thoughts are appreciated

Thank you for your time
