I haven't looked, but I'll check it out the next time I'm in there.

I agree on the Savage10 or: I bought a Stevens.308, $[300.00] put on a Shooter's Edge 4x15 x40 scope on it [69.00@ McBrides] and them dropped it in a Choate Tactical stock [159.00] and then installed a SSS 9 round DBM 80.00. It shoots as good as any rifle out there. Stevens = Value.

I did not read all the posts so don't flame me if this was covered, my buddy got a rem 700 sps tactical for around this price. It is not considered a real free float barrel b/c it touches the stock at the end. His gun shoots .5 moa out of the BOX! my fn spr will shoot a little better with handloads and the work ive had done to it.. but it is a $2500 rifle with scope. It is also just a black rifle.. It wouldnt really pass as a hunting rifle but it is small enough and light weight enough that it is no problem walking with. As long as you dont go overboard on a big heavy scope/bipod etc..

I hunt with .308 and I shoot long range with .308 ..

Cannot beat a 165 grn hrndy AMAX on whitetail/pigs. etc. If you dont shoot to much these bullets or atleast the nosler version 165grn green tip are also great shooters for long range. 168 hpbt or 155 palmas are great long range shooters also. Anyway if you dont mind spending $18.00 a box of 50 rounds you have yourself a great longrange bullet and a great deer bullet in the same load. Any ballistic tip at 100 yards + is going to put the hurt on a deer also!

If you get a K98k, they're easily rebarreled to .308 whlie keeping stock external appearances.

So in order to purchase this rifle I need a ffl correct? Ive never bought a rifle online before, no clue how it all works.

You can easily get a shot out Garand or K98 if you don't know what you are looking for. I've seen plenty that shoot 4 - 8 MOA which is horrible.

A K98 or Garand that is rebarreled however will serve you well. I suggest .308 for either.

Not a selfless plug here.. But since we are talking about bolt rifles and .308 here is my rang report post from shooting the other day. 500 yards 7moa elevation on 168grn hpbt. Wind was not strong enough to really move the .308. I shoot groups at 100 yards only.. anything past that I just try and hear the ding of copper on steel! I also shoot off bi pods prone 90% of the time. Anyway thought this might peak yalls interest considering the market you are looking in. Also I have shot this same shot with a rem 700 with similar results. Also taken a rem 700 out to 750 yards in Kansas without too much work with the same hand loads (168s)

Little range Report .223 & .308

Hey man sorry it took so long I looked wally mart has a few different remmy combos in there right know. I'd check the academy in Cedar Park to they seem to be fair priced and are a little more pro gun than WM. Sorry I was late man I thought I had told you already.

I like the savage.. they had a 770 but, the bolt action was a little rough I didnt like it. Although I need a dad gum garand for my ww2 collection.
