Budget .308 bolt action recommendations

[buckbull]

View attachment 394768cva cascade in 308. Very accurate and runs well. Around $600. Barrels are made by bergara.

Jim harmer (backfire guy) recommended these for a while for budget rifles.

OP made his choice but I would have recommended to save more and buy a tikka.

I see you bought the Steven’s but for anyone else Palmetto State Armory has been running the Savage trail hunters for $449
308,270,243,6.5cm
And savage has a $100 rebate so it makes them 349
Threaded barrel and a hogue stock

Just looked and I could only find the 6.5 CM. Smokin’ deal for sure.

They keep switching the caliber on sale up. I get the emails. Really took a lot not to pull the trigger on a 243. I happen to have a Magpul stock sitting here for a savage

I recently picked up a Vanguard. It shoots factory Hornady Whitetail into .75”. I’m very happy with it.
