If I were you I would get a Browning BAR in 270 Win, 308 or 30-06 and never look back. It does not get any better. Put a 2-7x Leupold or a fixed 4x or similar and you are good to go.
I have done a lot of research on BARs as well. One thing that is holding me back from buying a browning is the hinge plate clips. I love being able to remove my clips completely. It is very hard to find those guns with such clips. If anyone has any advice on where to look or know of anyone trying to sell one at a reasonable price let me know. Even if someone knows some model numbers that would be great
