My go to here the last two seasons is a 20" .308 win SPS tactical in an HS Precision stock with a Nikon MOA reticle scope that I caught on clearance. The rifle is short carries well and shoots 168 SMKs, A-Maxes like a laser, I'm supremely confident in this combo. My Bergara Ridge30-06 is a close second though with a Leupold 3-9x40 is quickly gaining more time due to it being super accurate and me being a fudd and having a soft spot for the old antique cartridge.
