I am in the market for a .308 rifle. It will be my first big boy rifle, and I am a little confused as to what I am after. I would like suggestions from the OSA crew. I have checked out a number of Savages, and have mostly settled in on that line of guns. My wants for a .308 are good ergos, accuracy, and comfort. I also don't need, and maybe don't want a full bull barrel. This will be my "if I need to hunt" gun, and not a bench rest target getter. I will have to haul it in, and out of the field, and don't want the extra weight to lug around.
The best feeling gun I have seen is the savage model 10 hog hunter, but that barrell is too short, and it is without optics, and seems to fit my needs much less than other options.
What I like about the savages is they seem to point really easy, and hold steady. They also seem to come in at a decent price, and I don't want to spend a ton on this gun. Give me suggestions, or links to a decent deal, and I will continue to search through the forums and interwebs to gather as much info as I can.
