Looking at getting a new .308 am am looking at the savage 110HS or the Rem 700 R5. Both are close in price which do you think would be a better buy?

Re: new ,308 ???
Go with the one you like the best. They are both solid guns and I don't think you would be disappointed with either. To me the immediate advantage of the Savage is that you can easily do a barrel swap if you want to shoot another short action caliber. I don't think you give up anything in terms of accuracy, etc.
Enjoy which ever one you decide on.

The 110 is a long action but can be used for a short action build. For a long time Savage only made long action recievers and used them for .308, .223 etc in addition to the long action calibers. The Savage is like a Lego set for big boys, the end user can do alot with a barrel nut wrench and a headspace gauge.
eta: I just re read the OP and it would be a model 10 FCP-HS (a damn fine choice according to everyone that has reviewed one), YMMV.

Re: new ,308 ???
I did think he might be referring to the 10 FCP-HS, but I apreciate the info on the LA. Building a .308 on a LA would basically give you unlimited possibilities down the road as far as changing calibers.
That's good to know.
