308 hunters - what will you take afield this season?
Rifle n Load. Ruger 308 All Weather, 2-7X33 LRD, Factory Nosler 150 or 165 Accubond, Federal factory 165 TBT (P308TT4) high energy, all work for me. ![[Linked Image]](http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b273/308LD/Ruger308001.jpg)

Winchester EW, in an Edge. Weighs 7lbs 5 oz as pictured. Puts 3 shots of most anything into .5-.75 MOA ![[Linked Image]](http://i1129.photobucket.com/albums/m513/jmr40/2013cohutta018_zps80d98931.jpg) I have a Kimber and it is nice too, but I don't consider it an all around rifle. If you absolutely have to keep weight down under 6 lbs scoped it is the best game in town. The Kimber is plenty accurate, but I just shoot this a bit better overall and at 7 1/4 lbs scoped isn't really heavy. For me there is not a nicer rifle than this EW Winchester. The stock saves the weight and creates a much different handling rifle than the B&C. Quick is the feeling I get. The scope speaks for its self and being in .308.

I like the new slimmer B&C stock of the 2015 M70 EW. I'd probably go that route.
The 700 Mountain SS would be my #2 choice and then the T3 Superlite with the fluted barrel. I like the Kimber Montana too, but I like a little more weight to a rifle. I typically do not tote a rifle more than a mile or two in a day, on flat land mostly. I'm a huge Kimber Montana fan and have to say that this is one of the most refreshingly honest reasons I've ever heard here as to why not choose one.

I can't say I have any built in loyalty, but the Sako 75/85 line has been very good to me. I have a M85 in 308 and it has everything I want. Good trigger, good barrel, good weight, good twist, good stock, good magazine. No drama, no fuss, turn key. I have confidence in the one's I own.
