Looking at a new 308 bolt action and I know that this topic has been beat to death but I wanted some input. I found a Bergara Premier Stalker for 1400. I was looking at a Christensen Ridgeline and maybe a Cooper Excalibur. Are the Cooper and Ridgeline worth the extra money? From what I've seen it's a good deal on the Bergara and would save me 400 - 800 that I could use on some good glass.I live in east Texas and will be using it for deer, hogs, and whatever else I run across. Not planning on stretching my range out passed 300 yards at the long end. No I don't hand load (yet) Thoughts welcome.
