RE: I Have Decided On A 308 Next Is ?
 

I've become addicted to my Savage 110 bolt-action.

For us left-handed guys, choices in bolt guns are limited.

RE: I Have Decided On A 308 Next Is ?
 

My first choice would be Sako with a close second of the new Remington 700 CDL.

Go with a bolt action my choice is either a Browning, Remington, Winchester, or Tikka.

I like a bolt action rifle best. Suggest you check out the Ruger 77 MkII. It'll probably need some work on the trigger to lighten it up a bit, but the scope rings are supplied so you save a little there. Pretty much an offset I guess.
Another good one is the Remington model 700.
As someone else already noted, check 'em out and pick one that fits your budget, and feels right/fits you best.
Couple other good ones to look into would be Winchester, or for something less expensive (but still good quality) there's Savage rifles.
Good luck.

A good and inexpensive rifle to hunt with is a H&R Handi rifle, single shot. More money, Thompson Encore. If you like bolts, Steven 200, about $265, very accurate. You can't go wrong with a Ruger 77 and the new Winchester Super Shadow, especially in 270WSM. I own all the above, the Handi is the fun gun, the 270WSM is the deadly long range rifle.

I like M1A's myself, but for a good bolt gun I would recommend starting with a Rem 700PSS and working from there, maybe shipping it off to GA Precision for some work or trying out a local smith to see what they can do with it. If I could do it all over again I would buy a Springfield Armory Natl Match instead of the loaded because it comes with a bedded stock and unitized gas system. I think its a matter of preference though, I like the M1A's and other M14 clones. DPMS makes good .308 AR15's also, best price out there for that type of rifle and as accurate as any of them.

I agree with New York Hunter. I recently got a look and the new Remington CDL. Georgeous firearm and I will have one.

RE: I Have Decided On A 308 Next Is ?
 

I'll second the Remington 700 Classic in .308 - the last of the Classic series if I understand correctly. Really like the clean lines of the Classic!

But then I just bought my wife a Browning A-Bolt Micro-Hunter in .308...and it feels like a dream...I'm jealous!! I'd be finding reasons to use it 'cept she's a lefty....and I'm not....dang!!!

Those brownings are nice, my brother has one in 270. Choose any of the Major manufactuers of bolt actions and you can t go wrong. Im partial to ruger myslef, but havent met a remington 700 or browning or winchester I didnt like. Im using mausers now, building my own with a mauser action and a remington 308 heavy barrel. Its all in what you like.

If your preference or interest is in a lever, then grab a Browning BLR in .308.
