With this ammo shortage and the vast supply of 308 cartridges still available I’m looking to pick up a 308 bolt action rifle. Not looking to break the bank as I also am going to be doing a long range build for a 300winmag.
However I am looking for something that is nice to shoot, accurate and reliable. No savage axis type stuff.
 
Im partial to 700’s, Bergara also makes a nice rifle, smooth action and accurate. Also is on a 700 footprint so tons of aftermarket support. Winchester featherweight, tikka has a nice action, but I don’t like my tikka stocks as much as the others I mentioned
 
Howa 1500 and Weatherby Vanguard are both basically clones of the older Sako rifles. Solid design, good Japanese workmanship and generally accurate and functional. They are a good value.
 
happy with my Ruger american predator, got it for 500$ off the EE! 0.6 MOA 3 shot groups at 100y on my first day with 180gr bullets (1:10 twist)
 
I'd be looking at a Tikka. "Nice to shoot" may involve a better recoil pad as its probably a 6.3-ish pound rifle.
 
I’m partial to the rem 700 but sometimes they take a bit of messing with to squeeze the most out of which I enjoy. I always recommend tikka when someone wants a gun that will be accurate out of the box with no messing with at the 1000$ and under price point.

Really couldn’t go wrong with either of the three above.
