HELP: Decisions about hunting rifle

[WTBguns10kOK]

Your thinking of the model 70 FW in .308 is a good choice. Both the wood and synthetic stocks are very nice.

yep . . . doesn't take much to bag Bambi within a couple hundred yards

Saw good reviews about Tikka accuracy.
But, I am worried about warranty coverage from a small Finnish gun manufacturer. I doubt they will send me a free shipping label if I need to ship the gun back for repair.

Tikka is made by Sako and is a fine company. Don't worry about repairs, which would be rare. The Tikka if you get it, may become your go-to rifle and yes they are exceptionally accurate out of the box. As for the Remington 700 trigger, my gunsmith installed a Shilen in mine. Great trigger and cheaper than the ones you are thinking about. It breaks clean at a crisp 2 lbs.

Wow, another possibility.
I am seeing a lot of nice reviews about the guaranteed 1 MOA accuracy from Thompson Center Venture and Dimension series.

They have 5R rifling and DBM.
