I'm currently considering the following:

Primary usage: 100-300 yards
Caliber: .308
Stock: walnut
Barrel/action: Win M70 Compact FW, CRF bolt
Optics: Leupold VX-3 1.75-6x32mm or 1.5-5x20mm

...which I think comes in at around $1200-$1300 total. $800 rifle, $400 scope.

Win M70 Compact FW


Have never handled the M70 but the FW version has piqued my interest a time or two.


A whole lot less ought 6 proponents than I had imagined when I started the thread


And to the poster that asked why I wanted to upgrade from the Savage Axis...

It's a fine gun for the money, and it's currently 4 for 4 on whitetails and groups well at the range (getting 1-1.25" groups @ 100 yds), but I really hate the stock on it as it's wayyyy too flexible, and I really don't want to just upgrade the stock. I want a stainless barrel, and I want something that's nice to look at.


Here's where I'm leaning...

Remington 700 LSS
