I was dead set on a Kimber Montana in 7-08 until I read all the accuracy horror stories. I would hate to chance the funds on a rifle that has a history of accuracy issues. If those are a thing of the past then I would lean that route. Really would like to keep the cost around $1k give or take a few hundred and rather have a stainless/synthetic over wood but either is fine. Any suggestions are appreciated.


Many options with your set budget. If you don't handload a 308 in the rifle you like best would be a good option.

A stainless howa barreled action in a McMillan sako classic would be nice and in the budget you set.
