well the time has come to start looking for a 308 for long range shooting i am thinking of the ultimate 700 from the unamed precision rifle dealer i have been looking at the steyr and savage to does anyone else have suggestions for 1000m 308 rifle
 
Im doing the same thing man.

I want a 308, 26" barrel, thinking Savage with McMillan stock maybe?

Anyone know where i could find one of these bad boys?? And how much $$???
 
yea i have heard the savage is a good deal i love 308 i think the 700 or the savage are both good routes i think i will go with a custom

I wouldn't trust a .308 past 600yds, but check out the Savage 10FP-LEA a nice kit all set to go for sniping. I think EllwoodEpps has one, at least a couple of montha ago it was there. Or slightly cheaper, no bipod or case etc. Get the Savage 10FP and put (the very excellent) Bushnel Elite fixed 10X30. use this rifle to perfect your reloads. (I forget the exact model # of the Bushnell, it is the fixed 10X with the mil-dot reticle)

308's built for the task still kick some serious butt at the 1000M matches I've shot... Judy Anderson shoots a 308 at 1000 in TR class and regulalry cleans up. You also won't see many 1000 yard shooters using only a 10X scope
 
Well I've been looking over the 308's in the 700's and the Savages, LTR's FP's, Tupperware, HS-Precision, McMillan stocks, etc..
I have been leaning towards the Savage Model 10FP HS Precision – with AccuTrigger™
But I came across this rifle just recently, could be another great option, anybody have any comments on this one, and how is it VS. these 700's and Savys.
Given; I would say is the price difference, so no need to beat that around.

I'm wondering from your comment, have you ever done any competitive shooting at 1k?
The 308 is still competitive at 1,000, it's just not the favorite flavour these days.

+1 to what Cat said; you ever shot a .308 past 600?

see the t3 tactical thread. Same comments apply, only real difference are the available calibers and threaded muzzle.

Yes .308 may not be the favorite flavour these day, but it is the only flavour for target rifle in counties like Canada, UK, USA, Austrailia, South Africa, NZ, Germany and a few others that participate in the International Palma Matches.

Im sure there are few people who wished they had been a little further than 600 yards after receiving a burst from a C6;)

And I'm sure there have been a vast number of people that had wished they'd been more than 600 yards away from an M40;).
