Take a look at the remington 700 sps... good affordable rifles... or the weatherby vangaurd synthetic...
sps is a good one like menchoned
Axis to man. $330 with a scope. Cheep price but even I bought one. There a great hunting rifle. Light weight and suprising enough is accurate. It's no target rifle but.. The biggest downfall is the recoil lug. It's more like a key style.. But being a hunting rifle that is fine.
pretty much every gun comes in .308 so u have some selection forsure.
Have fun picking out a winner ! Most of all, don't buy it if it does not feel right. Good luck.

Browning X bolt composite..I'm really happy with mine.
I had a chance to wring out 2 new heavy barrel .308s not long ago, I was looking for a very accurate .308, a Savage 110 and a Rem. 700. On most anything that I fed them the Rem. shot better and is still with me and is used as Production class. The Savage was not as slick or as accurate and i didn't like it's plastic stock so it went back.

X2 on that! My "bush rifle" is a Rem 760 in .308 with a 1.5-4.5x scope. I've used it to take whitetails ranging from running deer at 15 yards to a buck standing 150 yards away across a beaver pond.

BLR in .308 will serve you well for many years to come. New or used, they are good guns.

Like your post in Hunting and sporting arms,
If you like the bolt actions then a Savage 10FCM or similar, the Winchester featherweight compact would be an excellent choice.
As stated above look at the used racks, there are plenty of 308's out there.

Love mine it is hands down the best bush rifle I have. I also have a 7600 carbine and take the Tikka every time.
