308 semi auto

As a follow up to the "wives and guns" thread, I first need to figure out what to get before worrying about how to convince the wife of the purchase.
Im looking to start some med/long range shooting (100-500yds) within the next year. Im pretty sure I want to go with a .308 win cartridge and I would like for it to be semi auto.
Experience?
Suggestions?
also what are some good scope options? (think mid-level budget)

I have a Remington 742 30-06 and my brother has one in .308. Good gun, but not very accurate after the second shot (barrel heats up fast). Groups are never very close. We use them when hunting back in the swamps and running dogs. They're plenty accurate for that, but idk about up to 500 yards.
Benelli makes a pretty nice semi auto rifle and the Browning BAR's are badass, but again, not sure about the long range accuracy.
Best bet for shots up to 500 yards would be a bolt action.
Leupold makes good scopes in all budgets. VX11.
Zeiss Conquest is phenomenal for the price IMO.

Are you looking to shoot long range competitively?
If so I would recommend going 223 over 308

What is your budget? Pretty hard to argue the long range accuracy of this rifle. Springfield M1A

One of the newer option for what you are looking at is .260 Remington. However if you have to have .308 I recommend this:
Panther LR-308
One of the snipers where I work is very high on it and competes in 500 yard matches at Steel City in AL using a Nikon scope (I forget which one but you wanted budget level) This is just a fun gun for him, but it performs very well.
I stepped up to this:
Panther LRT-SASS
Most likely going with some Badger rings and a Loopy Mark IV
You can find videos and reviews of both all over the internets.
