My wife got me a Bergara in 7mag a couple Christmases ago. Love it with the Zeiss scope.

I upgraded to a Bergara B14 Ridge Wilderness .308 a few months back. I freaking love it. Great stock, trigger, Cerakote, pre-threaded heavy barrel, fluted bolt. The fit and finish on the bolt/receiver are great. I dropped a Swarovski Z5 on it and should have approval on my suppressor any day now.

I went with a Winchester model 70 lightweight .270. Recoil is nasty, but I only weigh 140 lbs.

Brownells has Bergara premier barreled actions. I really need one in 280 AI. Timney trigger; Greyboe stock; done.

Don’t overlook Savage. My American Classic in .308 is very accurate and reliable.

I have a Browning X Bolt .300 Win Mag. I’m no expert on the subject but it is a sweet shooting rifle for its calibre. I had the A Bolt II and the difference is night and day. I also have an older Ruger Mark III that is deadly accurate. I’ve heard good things about the Ruger American.

I love the down votes.

Don't listen to the guy that has some millions of dollars worth of guns, not for someone else, but as his own business. Oh no, he said Vortex quality wasn't good, well it is not and I would know, I sold a shite ton of it until I got tired of dealing with broken crap and moved on to better brands. Primary arms has less issues...

I have several items in their Razor line. The quality on those are up there with the best, including Nightforce.

Anyone have the Winchester XPR? Looks like a nice budget option.
