7mm-08 would be my first choice but at the ranges you're looking at there isn't much difference in 260, 6.5, 7mm-08 or 308. If you don't reload 6.5 Creedmoore and 308 ammo is cheaper than the rest at the big box stores. I have never shot one but don't care for the Savage trigger, they do get great reviews. The Ruger Hawkeyes with their new trigger are excellent guns.

Remington 700 SPS for that price point. Have several and all are spot on with accuracy. 243 Nice mid size caliber. check out www.grabagun.com

Go 708 in savage or Ruger. It will do everything you’re asking of it and then some. You are also tossing a heavier bullet downrange but not into the 30 cals yet.
Sierracharlie out…

I don't like the the Ruger Americans at all. Trigger, stock, and action all suck to me. They're very accurate though. The savage axis is about the same. Got a 25-06 111 from savage in the safe. The other options listed above are better rifles.Last edited by Arrowthreat; 08-01-2019, 10:23 AM.

Look hard at the Mossberg Patriot. Wood stock ones run about $500 or less with the package scope. The scope is usable, but not great. Synthetics are about $325 bare, and the stock is flimsy. But they shoot lights out. I have a few of the Savage's, 2 Ruger Americans, and 2 Mossbergs. Not enough difference to make a difference.
