So here's my issue currently my only center-fire rifle is a M44 mosin. I like it but its HEAVY
I have decided I want a new rifle for deer maybe the occasional "other animal" such as wild hogs. I also know that I want it in .308win
When I did some google work I found the 770 getting good reviews from people who own them an spotty reviews from the crowd that just handles it and doesn't shoot them.
I know the 700 is one of the classic rifles for this task, but the idea of the 770 does intrigue me. I know I want a synthetic stock regardless of what I get so older 700's with wood stocks are not being looked at.
Also I know pretty little about scopes so I would rather by a rifle with the scope already on it.
All in all I only picture this rifle getting a few rounds through it during hunting season and maybe the occasional range trip but dont plan to shoot caseloads of ammo through it.
I have looked at a few other rifles such as the Savage Edge and even the HR hand-rifle.
Am I missing a major bolt-action contender?
