I am in the market for a truck gun with a few specifications:
- Bolt action
- Preferably magazine fed
- 308-223
- 20" barrel
- Package without glass around $800
I would like this rifle to be able to reach out to 800 yds and still maintain a bit of kinetic energy, but that sort of rules out the 223, so I am still open to options. Durability is also an obvious factor for consideration in this set up as it will be a working type gun subject to field abuse.
Configurations I have been considering:
- Howa 1500 308 20" fluted with B&C monte carlo type stock
- Ruger Gunsite
- Mossberg MVP
I am open to other suggestions as well, but please help me stay in the ballpark of price and specs.
Thanks,
Cory
