Keep watching Gun broker and find yourself a Winchester mod 70 Sporter Varmint in .308,I have 5 in the entire line of cals,each and everyone are sub moa shooters.One out of the Custom shop in .22-250 has produced .25" ,100 yd groups using Win-USA 45gr,Wally World bulk ammo! very best

Bridge: hope I'm not hijacking...maybe you want to know this also.

To Cpermd: what does one look for to determine the "5R" rifling? (I'd be afraid to ask the dealer..might get a yes answer just to make a sale). Thanks, Joe

EDIT:
Cattle buyer, got it. Thanks, Joe

have you considered savages line of heavy barreled rifles. I have two of them and i believe they will shoot with any remington on the market. And they are a whole lot cheaper!JMO

My 700 PSS-LTR puts Win. Match 168's in one hole at 100yds. Am working on a handload to match now.

The Savage is the best rifle for the money, it doesn't matter if you go with the varmint class model 12's or the police model 10's, they are all sub MOA guns with great triggers and they will come in for less than $800.

Also look at Howa. I bought mine as a barreled action, put it on a Boyd's JRS Classic and it is a moa .308. That is typical of Howa.

Savage also has a well earned rep for accuracy, and they even have a couple of decent looking models these days.

Tikka T3, Tikka T3, and Tikka T3. Handle one, and you will buy it. It comes with rings, and they are sub MOA shooters out of the box, really nice trigger, and a bolt that is slicker than silk thongs!
