Looking into a 308

[HODGIE 3]

I do like the others, but come on... 700p for under $800 is a terrific value, considering it has an upgraded stock, is compeltely free floated, and is bedded.

 

 

I like to be different, everybody and their brother has a 700, the Savage is still a hidden Jewel and the Howa can be

had for about $500.00 and change from local vendors.

Seems to be getting great reviews.

[HODGIE 3]

It does get a good review but the in the Savage review they say it's better then the 700 for 2 reasons, the

Accue trigger and the fact that Savage makes a 1:10 twist in a 24" barrel which works the best with .308 which

Remington fails to recognize. Is the 700 an excellent firearm yes but there are other companies out there that have caught up or surpassed them. I guess we can piss this back and forth all day and get no where, for me It's Savage then Howa all the way, and Yes I have shot all 3 many times.

yup. I think they are all good. lol.

Besides, most of these rifles can shoot better than the person behind the trigger.

I paid 712 with tax and nics... I also shoot lefty but if I felt the need to resell righty will prob sell faster than lefty. Ordered a harris bipod 6-9, leather sling, and a Bushnell Banner 6-24x40 716244 Matte Mil Dot Reticle Riflescope.

nice, enjoy it. only thing I would say, much like the advice I got myself.... the scope should cost as much as the rifle. Dont cheap out on a scope. Get quality glass. How does it go, buy once, cry once. but.... if that scope doesnt work out, I may be interested.

 

Other great scopes in the lower price range... nikon prostaff.

Well bud's says free shipping but if you want it insured it will cost about $15.00 more.

Then there is the transfer and nics depending on where you have it sent it will be between $40.00 and $50.00.

You should give Shore Shot and TJ a call and see if they can get better prices

sometimes it will be cheaper through them even with tax and nics then getting online.
