If you can get past the Eurotrash looks, this is one 308 I'll never part with. Shoots as good as any bolt gun I have, very accurate, reliable, never had a jam, lines up off hand to the shoulder and eye, well built, no dinky parts, I like it.

I really like the older Sako rifles chambered in .308. they have a slim, light action just long enough to work properly with the .308 case. Well made, properly proportioned to be lively in the hands but still handle recoil well, and they seem to always be accurate. I have two presently, an L579 Deluxe and a slightly newer AII deluxe. Wonderful rifles. I also had a M85 stainless ( Grey Wolf) that worked perfectly and was accurate, but my brother in law wanted it worse than I did. No experience with the new M90, but I'd take a chance on one.

How difficult are these to tear down, clean and lubricate??? Thanks Hitzy!
Yes indeed there is a chance. I need to spend a bit more time developing a 180gr SP Interlock load but once I'm happy with the results I can manufacture some practice ammo.
And possibly unbannable by the commies.
Thompson Center Icon Weathershield. Unfortunately no longer made or available. Great action that’s super smooth. Very short boltthrow with a great safety and trigger that’s adjustable. Super accurate and nice ergonomics!
I gave my oldest son a rem 700 a few years ago and he has taken deer with it every year he's had it. He also lent it to several of his buddies and they have done the same.
I built a sort of M40 clone a couple years later and my younger son has been hunting with it for the last two years. He has put a whitetail in the freezer both times.
These are the best 308s in my mind. I have others, but these two are important in my family.
But all 308s matter.

That might be wishful thinking. - dan
Just call me a flaming optimist.........
My wife and I have killed quite a few animals with a Savage Axis and Weatherby Vanguard S2 in .308. From moose to deer, they all fell dead!
My brother and FIL come here quite often to hunt deer and use my Vanguard, they too have killed quite a few deer with it.

Not in my hands. She's still a lightweight.

My new favorite (though admittedly in 243, but you can find them in 308) is my CZ 557 Lux short action. It sometimes wears a factory synthetic stock, but most times I like the walnut Bavarian stock. The factory irons are excellent! Though it sometimes wears a nice Minox red dot or a 3-9x40. I also have an NECG rear peep sight. It's very versatile, rugged and light enough for woods loafing. Same rifle as the Range series but with a nicer stock and not drilled and tapped. I have two 4-round mags and a 10-round mag which looks cool, but I don't need. It's also just as accurate as all my T3's, but with better mags and less plastic.
