So I'm looking for a nice light rifle, with enough punch to hunt what I want, but will also see range time, just because. I'm pretty settled on a standard .30 caliber. So it will either be a .308, or .30-06. The choices above are available to me, as there is somthing about each one that I like, but none are perfect. They will all certainly do the job, but each has a certain trait that I like, and cannot decide on which model I will like best. Truth be told, I think I would like any of them, once I get it home, and can probably do no wrong. The catch is, this is going to be my last purchase for some time, so I want one that I will be satisfyed with, desiring nothing else. I kind of, sort of promised the wife my last one was, well my last one. I'm getting rid of a couple though, so that counts, right? It will fire a 180 grain bullet, probably a Partition. I want to keep recoil down, as to make it headache friendly. And i wan't to keep the weight down, as to make it bad knee friendly too. The only synthetic stock option was on the Browning. I used to have one in '06, and really liked it. Otherwise, I love the look and feel of a nice wood stock. So, given these perameters, in a deer rifle, that will be used on the occasional moose and perhaps elk, what do you think?
