    I need a recommendation for a better 308.

    I was stumbling across that piece of information and was trying to read more about it. Ultimately, if I spend as much on a Tikka CTR and swap the stocks I would likely be just as well off looking for a bergara hmr pro and being done with it.

    I need a recommendation for a better 308.

    If I were to prioritize the features I want I'd say #1 is keeping the total weigh of the rifle under 9#. #2 would be using AICS pattern mags including the magpuls. #3 folds. I can take or leave the folding part of the stock/chasis.

    I need a recommendation for a better 308.

    This is where I'm outside my wheelhouse, and the downside to being a neanderthal. I literally don't care at all whether the rifle is in a chasis or a regular stock so long as the gun shoots well. Honestly, when I ordered my GA Precision in 6.5 they asked what stock and I said so long as it...

    I need a recommendation for a better 308.

    I was all ready to buy the Delta 5, but all the better deals I saw on them in the $1400-$1500 range have dried up. Now that they're pushing $1,800 I'm reconsidering. The Tikka T3X CTR has always interested me too, but I don't want to mess with their proprietary mags. What's a good functional...

    I need a recommendation for a better 308.

    All, I wanted to say thanks for all the help. I've decided on the Daniel Defense Delta 5 in 308, not the pro model. After looking at what's out there and seeing the specs I just kept coming back to that being the right rifle for me and what I intend to use it for. I'll post something once the...

    That's one that has caught my eye in the past too. Those Bergara rifles all seem to be great shooters.

    I need a recommendation for a better 308.

    My reloads for that rifle had been with Sierra 168gr & 175gr matchkings. I never tried anything else and maybe that's my fault. Either way, it's too late for me to worry about that. The other components were lapua brass, fed match primers, and I don't recall the powder. Reloading skills are...

    Out of curiosity, what components are you using with your handloads?

    The only thing that would kick it out of the runnings for me is that it's a bit heavy for what I'd like to get at.

    Mine definitely never shot that well. I'm glad yours did. I had the factory trigger swapped with a Timney adjustable and kept it around 3#. I never messed with action screw torque settings. I just kept them at one setting.

    That's one that caught my eye too. I haven't read much about them but I really like the idea and look of the rifle. I should probably learn to forgive springfield, but I'm not sure I'm completely over the Illinois thing yet though either.

    How far out have you shot with your cross? Did you feel like you could hold MOA out to 800 yards ish? For a team match, that's probably the most I'd have to go and anything beyond that would few and far between from the matches I've seen. I have an SDN-6 that'd definitely find it's way onto...

    I need a recommendation for a better 308.

    As far as any "hunting" I'd use this for I don't call it hunting in my backyard. It's more of a do-it-yourself meat gathering. I sit there with a rifle and wait for the first four legged bag of meat to walk and I let the air out of it. I don't care about antlers and it doesn't feed my ego to...

    I need a recommendation for a better 308.

    My only gripe with Tikka is the mags. My cousin has a t3 compact tactical and it's a nice shooting rifle, but I like having a lot of mags for anything I own and I've already got plenty of the magpul & AI mags laying around. I realize I could get a compact tactical and throw it in a chasis, but...

    I need a recommendation for a better 308.

    My interest in any level of accuracy is knowing that beyond a certain limit, it's "me" and not "the gun". Last year I shot at a match in the spring where the targets were silly small. Many were sub MOA targets, so adding in my margin of error doesn't make for anyone yelling the word "Impact"...

    I need a recommendation for a better 308.

    I'm liking the versatility of being able to swap barrels and have the two main calibers I use. The options are limited and not likely to improve, but those two options would work well for me so it checks those boxes. Chatting with the two guys at the competition is was really pushed me towards...

    From everything I've been reading, the more I'm really leaning towards the DD Delta 5. If nothing else it's a mistake I could quickly turn around and resell for small penalty.

    It's kinda helpful. I just skimmed through the classifieds here and didn't notice this. We've taken the conversation to PM's now.

    I would not rule out a semi auto, but I between accuracy and weight it doesn't seem to fit into what I'm looking for.
