So I’m in the market for a nice 308 Winchester bolt action. I would be interested in hearing thoughts on what you guys like on the market, and what might fit my needs.
I’ll be using it for hunting, 4-500 yard shots or less. Mostly much less. I like shorter barrels. 16.5-20” seems to work nicely, as I don’t hunt out of stands or blinds, and I’m not shooting long range. I would like it keep it at or below 7lbs bare unloaded rifle. I love the idea of building my own custom setup off a bighorn origin action, but I feel that’s going to be outside of my budget. My budget is <$2000.
