Buy the Savage you will not regret it.

Check out page 26 of CDNN's most recent catalog.

You can get a .308 FN Patrol Rifle in 20" or 24" Fluted Heavy Barrel with scope rings and a Hogue Pillar Bedded Stock for just over $500.00.

This is a $1,000.00 rifle!

This is about the best deal out there that I know of currently - the only catch is that they might already be sold out.

I have one of these. I have put SIX different brands of ammo from Federal hunting ammo, FN milsurp, PRVI Partizan and PMC ball ammo and that rifle shot sub-moa with them all.

I don't care what rifle "deal" are you are recommended, but right now, the FN PBR XP from CDNN is the best .308 value out there right now.

I would point you towards the Remington 700, there's a 20" Heavy barrel version that's very accurate, can be found for around $580.00

And if you attend any F Class matches, you'll see a lot of factory Savage F Class rifles winning. In fact, 3 out of the top 5 at last years F T/R Nationals.

Yeah, I remembered those after I posted. By 700's I didn't mean box guns, and the F T/R isn't what everyone hoots and hollers about being the best rifle ever built. I don't know, guess my opinion isn't worth much.

Not saying your opinion isn't worth anything, just saying if he's looking at F Class, the factory Savage is competitive. I'd hate to try to haul one around hunting though.

I second the Remington 700 SPS Tactical heavy barrel. My dad picked one of these up, slightly used, with Nikon 3-9x scope, for $500, its a sweet shooter!

+1 for the Remington 700 SPS Tactical. Don't let the "SPS" kid you. The Tactical variant has a dual-pillar bedding for the barreled action.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I think I am gonna go with the Savage 11G Hunter, as its lightweight and a decent wood finish for $480 new.

My only question left is, will this combination of rings, mount, and scope all fit on the Savage 11G?

long range target shooting. Though the less weight the better I guess, I don't want it excessively heavy.

22"-24" bbl seems right.

Remington Model 7 CDL sounds right up your alley.

Beautiful wood stock with satin finish. 20' bbl in .308 but 22' in magnum. Weight is about 6 1/2 lbs before scope. Local shops should have it right at 600$ MSRP is 900 but who pays full msrp??

I think I've already decided, thanks though. the Savage hunter model seems right.

Can anyone answer my question two posts up?
