Another great value is the Remington model 783.

HS Precision 308 review

Impressive, but 95% of people couldn't make a hit beyond 200 yds with that same rifle.

Less recoil too. Easier to spot your own shots.

Remington 700
In 300 win mag
Out to 700 you’re just nailing them dead on.

In my opinion, 6.5 anything, creedmore included, is a fad. Don't be fooled, .308 has killed way more "stuff" than 6.5 ever will. .308 is battle proven, period. That being said, yes the 6.5 does have slightly better ballistic coefficient over .308. but military and law enforcement still use what? .308. or obviously .50 if you are super serious. .308 is readily available. One reason to choose it. Personally I prefer belted magnums. But, if s did ever h the f... Easier to procure parts and pieces for the more common .308 than, let's say, 7mm rem mag, or 300 win mag, etc..

Savage over 783 any day.. but 700 over Savage. As long as it's new or trigger has the dot on it, cause it was reworked.

Guns are Evil They Scare Me!

Obviously Tika makes a nice gun.

Tikka.

You're generous!

But if you want to know, ask the pros.. basically the rem 700 is THE platform. Custom everything and you'll have the nicest rifle around.

Mad the point here is.. know YOUR equipment.. .22 Cal can be deadly as any other.. know your bullet and how it flies. Practicing perfectly every day keeps stupid habits at Bay.

*and , not mad

The Accuracy Intl bolt guns are notoriously heavy. Also cost upwards of $10k without scope. Well regarded in the higher realms, but....

The Sako TRG-22 is very comparable for about $3k.

The Tikka varmint and tactical rifles are under $1k and very fine quality for the money. There's also Tikka's "master" competition rifle with its orange-ish laminated stock. About $1k less than a TRG-22. Tikka and Sako both owned by Beretta and made in same factory in Finland.

Lots of semi-custom makers our there, but FN-Herstal has their Patrol and Police models which are about the best values. Police has McMillan stock, if you like them, an heavy varmint match barrel. The action is a Win 70 crf action which is among the best ever designed. Great rifles for around $2500 and $800 for the Patrol.

Winchester USRAC made the Heavy Varmint in .308 which came with a stainless barrel made by Wilson and a H-S Precision marksman stock. Winchester's custom shop also made the Marksman rifles with Schneider stainless barrels.


All in all, there are a few other chamberings worth consideration: The Tikka series and TRG-22 have been made in .260rem. Something to be said for the .308win case necked down to .264". Can always find brass, and if you have loading tools, you're set!

The Tikkas have been chambered in .223/5.56 with a 1:8 twist which allows using 77gr match bullets at about 2700fps. Very versatile and accurate bullet, but they don't fragment like the lighter weight bullets. Great penetration and even when shot into a box of rocks, as a backdrop, you'll find the 75/77gr bthp bend like pretzels, but don't break apart. Best choice going unless you're in backwoods Alaska where there're large bears.

.223/5.56 weights half as much as the .308win; so can carry 2x the ammunition. Very accurate out to 600yds even with open sights (if you have a 20" barreled rifle!)... The .223/5.56 will deliver at 1000yds with great accuracy as well; at least from a bolt rifle with optimum barrel length and handloaded 90gr VLD bullets.

A stainless Tikka Varmint in 5.56/223 with 1:8 twist barrel would be my choice for a daily carry rifle. The Leupold 4.5-14 50mm and 6.5-20 50mm are very acceptable optics while also being lightweight.

No that wasn't the point here.

Yep :)

Lester is right. Weight is a thing when packing or walking long hunting trips. Something to consider. What will you use the rifle for.. long range precision rifle could be heavy. Throw in the pickup hunting rifle could be light

10.5 AR15 pistol or an AK47.

That guy has 100 videos shooting long range .. that is the point. He knows his shit. And can make any caliber look good ..cause he knows his shit. And Sam is also a decent spotter. They are a great team regardless of the caliber. That is the point. Learn your shit know your shit. Just because he can doesn't mean you can.. right? . Isn't practice the most important thing.? Know your shit.

Can't use mark and Sam as proof of a caliber being "worthy" .. that man can shoot. That's what he does. Hence the importance of practice.

Where the fuck is OP?!

762x51 is tried and true. Get a decent rifle and pour money into ammo and practice, practice practice. As a range master I have seen many with the best money can buy that can't hit shit. Know and use your rifle.

How may arm chair warriors here shoot once a year? What about once a week, a day, or multiple times each day? Learn to use whatever you have. Even if it is to hunt deer one time a year.

This. Is. The. Truth.
