I was thinking that too when I read that. I thought, well I can do that with my old savage 30.06.

Ruger is first rate in terms of quality and price.
To: RoosterRedux
Ah, yes. The black scary looking assault bolt action rifle. Let’s hyperventilate heavily and try to ban the evil looking thing immediately!!

According to the link at post 23 they were getting 1/2 MOA at 800 yards with factory ammo. Not bad.

Damned Ruger! Just about the time I think I don’t need any more guns they come out with something (AGAIN!) that makes me question that decision. And this one has 5R rifling too. It’s going to be a tack driver.

I’ve got a Savage Model 110 that holds minute of angle at 300 right out of the box. It came with a Nikon BDC mounted at the factory, chambered in .308. It cost me about $450 or so out the door at Cabelas IIRC.
Haven’t had a chance to shoot it at longer ranges but I’ll bet I could hit a man sized target at 500 with some time to dope it in correctly.

Go to Ruger’s site and open the exploded drawings of this rifle. It is essentially their American Rifle in a factory Chassis/stock, albeit a very adaptable and adjustable stock. Appears that the trigger assembly and the bolt and receiver are straight out of the American Rifle. This is basically a $350 rifle in a $1000 stock. The regular American is MUCH cheaper and shoots just as well in my experience.

I want one of these in .308!
To: RoosterRedux
I have a Winchester Model 70 Featherweight in 30.06.
Circa 2000 model year.
Out of the box it shoots .76 inches at 100yds with 180gr Noslers.
Can't beat that with a stick.
$799 new.
Yeah, it's a Featherweight. That light barrel allows it to like ONLY ONE bullet weight. I guess I got lucky:)

The tested rifle in 6.5 Creedmore says 10.6 lbs in the specs window. They hung 5 lbs of crap on it, only the scop being needed.
Bipods and monopods, meh!

My local gun store has a sale at $1000, regular price $1100. I imagine you local store is similarly priced for now. My Sporter cost me around $200 and meets my needs very nicely taking care of the rare snake and annoying my sister no end. She hates it when I let my nieces and nephew target practice.

Start with a Savage Model 10FP or 110FP (tactical) rifle and build it from there. I bought a Model 10FP in .308 at a gun show for a great price. I installed a Choate sniper stock, an adjustable set trigger from Shapshooter Supply, and a Versa Pod bipod. I topped off the optics with a Tasco Super Sniper 10x42M mil-dot scope and A.R.M.S. No. 22M throw lever quick attach-detach 30mm rings. Boy could that rifle shoot! Savage makes one outstanding rifle in its Model 10 or 110 line. I'd put my Savage up against a similar Winchester, Remington, or Ruger product any day.

Here is my favorite Ruger 44 Carbine:
It is always fun to go out with the 10-22 and then start shooting this one when no one is looking. That first 44 always wakes everyone up. It is a sweet brush-gun. One of my first loves.
