With money not being an option what .308 should I buy for hunting?

If you mean you have little money? A Marlin XS-7 or a Stevens 200 series combo will get you by if you want to buy the scope seperately H%26amp;R Handi-Rifle. Never ignore the used racks I've seen nearly perfect $600 Remington %26amp; Winchester rifles with Leupold, Burris or Bausch %26amp; Lomb scopes on them for under $500.The Stevens 200 is based on the Savage 10/110 series rifle and you can get a better stock in the future that will take it. Plus a better scope can always be bought for any rifle like these when funds allow in a year or two.





If you mean cost is no object then: Cooper Arms, Dakota Arms, New Ultra Light Arms, a custom by a very good riflesmith. If you wanted unusual you could have it done on a less common(in the USA) action such as a SAKO.





Kimber is making very nice rifles but I've seen a few at shops where there were Cooper %26amp; Dakota products and they just seemed to have that slight edge in being perfectly fitted %26amp; finished.





Why stick with just a .308(I'm assuming you mean a .308 Winchester btw). If I was going the price is no object route I'd pick something else because i already have a Browning in .30-06 so I'd want something a little more special. Say a 6.5mm-284, a .280 Ackley Improved, .308 or .358 Norma Magnum, .330 Dakota or even a .25/08 Improved.With money not being an option what .308 should I buy for hunting?

I'd get a Browning BLR.





I've had a .358 Win LR for nearly 15 years. it is the most accurate rifle I've ever owned and one of the most accurate I've ever shot. I also hear other people saying similar things about their BLR's.

would be my pick if money were not an option and all I was going to be doing was stand hunting.





Good luck.

Any Remington or Savage Brand 308 Rifle that you really like.*
i'd go with a national match grade M1a from SA, probably with a swarovski 3-10x42mounted on it...but that's just me.
only one guy actually read the question?!!!!! I'd go (savage)stevens 200 but ditch the scope if you get a combo. second option might be a NEF or mossberg
A custom Remington from their custom shop in some beautiful wood with a real expensive custom Leupold on it.
