if you have an opportunity to buy a 7mm-08 steyr scout you should get it. the 308's kick a bit too much for me in such a light gun and the 243's and the 7mm-08's are rare. most having been imported to countries with "military caliber" prohibitions.
If you find that you dont like it let me know. i have a walnut stocked 20" barrel with a leupold 3.5-10 that i'd trade you.
