I know, Im not proud of it.
I know, for my needs all of this is all over kill. But, I like projects. I have thought about just saying fuck it and getting one of the below because most of the work is already done and they would do everything I could ever want and more. The main thing I dont like about the Tikka over a 700 or savage is the limited amount of parts. Even if it doesnt need anything changed, I still like to tinker with stuff.
Ruger Precision in .308

Savage 10 RCP-SR

or even a Mossberg MVP (to be different, and they offer a package with a nice Vortex scope)

You won't find a ruger precision available on the market for a while. Retail should be around 899 and they are going for over 1250 if you can find one.
MVP is not customizable.
Your best bet is the savage or remington 700
