MY opinion only, the Sako .308 with the full length manlicher stock has always been my favouite. For true accuracy buy a decent used remington, then when you can afford it tune the trigger, pillar bed the action, upgrade the barrel, etc. The most accurate .308 I own is a $200 remington model 788. It is twice as old as you are and shoots like it shouldn,t. Buy a rifle that fits you well, or that you can grow with. Anything you like can be tuned to be more accurate. Good luck.
