What's the best bang for the buck rifle in 308?
- Thread starter DMR
- Start date
Aren't Remington several hundred dollars more, yet offer no real advantage?
All the 700's I see people selling are in the $700-1000 range.
Yes but it's a proven system that will last you forever. There are also tons of aftermarket parts that allows you to tune your rifle the way you would like it. If you see them at $700 - $1000 range then you are getting ripped off. I can get a 700 SPS Tactical for $550 all day. Also, is this a hunting or a precision rifle? If it is a hunting rifle go with Savage, if it is a precision rifle, go with the Remington because you can upgrade it as you go.
In for info. Was getting ready to post the same.
On that note I have been looking at the savage hog hunter. They seem to be pretty solid at a decent price. Plus it is threaded, so it is ready for he suppressor.

Precision. But why wouldn't a precision rifle be an excellent choice for hunting? I mean, my intention is not to slab a 10lbs chassis, with a 26" barrrel and haul it around. But needs to be versatile.
Remember, I said best bang for the buck. So, I'm not talking Swarowski scopes, and $3000 setups.
My next 308 will be the Mossberg MVP LC. you can get them for around $1000

No but if you are going to spend hundreds of dollars on a platform, it better be a platform you can build on. That way you save money in the end... What if you want to start shooting sub MOAs at long distances once you get to know the rifle? You don't want to have to buy a new rifle... then have to learn a new platform... Instead, just upgrade the platform you have and are familiar with. With Savage, you are way more limited than with the Remington.
I've made the mistake plenty of times of buying long guns that are not modular. Yes, if you are using it for a single purpose and it doesn't need to be upgraded, like a hunting rifle, then that's fine. However, if you are wanting a precision rifle, it needs to be able to grow with you. Get a base model now for $550 - $600 plus some decent glass. DO NOT BE CHEAP WITH THE GLASS! Even at first, you should go with a decent brand. Even a low-end Leopold is better than high end china crap.
Check out the T3 line. They have a wide variation of options depending on your specific needs. I have the Hunter in .308 and I love it. Upgradability wasn't a concern of mine. They do have plenty of options for that.
its $615.
It is threaded, accutrigger, comes with a rail, accustock, detachable mag, cheek peice, and peep sights. That is a lot of bang for buck

will the MVP's group under 1" @ 100 yards? thats generally my standard and I've never tried the mossbergs
This is a fine rifle and a good value if you aren't bothered by ugly plastic.
thats not a plastic stock. That is the accustock. thats pretty dense composite compared to the hog hunters plastic stock
