I have read all of the entrys to this quarry and agree with most. That being said I will have to agree with OldBuckStalker1187 in the Savage rifle area. I have a Savage 112 BVSS-S in .220 Swift and just bought the Savage Palma in .308. LOVE them both!!!!!!!! My Palma rifle now holds a Schmidt and Bender scope and the 112 Holds a Nightforce. Both shoot sub-moa (Under 1 inch at 100yds) any day, every day, all day. Havent got to wring out the Palma yet.
I whole heartedly agree with the 308 round for both weapons. I used to shoot the 308 for work for 17yrs ( LEO Sniper) and have just recently went to the .338 Lapua in a Accuracy International AWM. I would strongly urge you to look at the Savage line for your choices and go from there. If you do not do a lot of walking for your hunting, mainly from shot boxes or elevated stands/platforms that require only a several hundred yard walk and then sit all day. Look at the Palma rifle and I feel with a set of good glass, rings and mounts, you will have all that you need in one gun. My .02 cents
