Ok I need a new 308 as I recently sold my bolt action to a buddy who made me an offer I couldn't refuse. I've got about $1200 before glass and accessories. I'm thinking Savage 10FCP LE with McMillan stock as you can find them for about $1100. I've had a 5R before and was thinking something else, any suggestions? What do ya think?

Go back with 5R.

5R is good. Another option is a used FN with detachable magazine and chrome lined barrel. It's for sale from time to time at 1000-1200

I would go with either the Remington XCR Tactical Long Range or, Compact Tactical...I was going to buy one of these before I decided to buy once, cry once and get my AE MkIII.

Remington 700 AAC-SD 20"barrel, threaded, 1:10. Great rifle to build as you go. I enjoy shooting mine every time I get a chance. I went with AICS 2.0, badger 20moa, badger rings, HDMR, Harris S Bipod, AAC blackout.

Think about what you want to do with the rifle down the road. The Remy will allow you more options and pickups of used stuff in the forums. The FN and Savage will allow for less after market compatibility, as would a Tikka. All great guns, but I'd go Remy if I had to do again.

Re: Best 308 rifle for $!200 or less
Though it does not have as much aftermarket support as a Remington, tikka is getting some love.
I believe the best factory rifle right now is the Tikka CTR scout. For under 900 dollars, I have yet to see a tikka that will not shoot. I don't think I have seen one that will not shoot under a half inch!
