As title says looking for advice on my next hunting rifle. Cartridge will be .308 win. I have gotten away from rifle hunting and bow hunted almost exclusively for the last three years. Would like to get back into carrying a rifle more often. Price range of $1500 or less. Deer, big black bear here in eastern NC, and possibly moose this year in Newfoundland or elk in CO. Open to synthetic or wood, stainless or blued. Have owned primarily savages in the past.

Thanks for the advice in advance.

Scott
