I have a pre-ban PTR-91, and if I could pick one 308, it wouldn't be that. Nothing wrong with it, I enjoy shooting mine, but it's got limitations.picture of hk91

For practicality, I agree (putting on a scope for one thing). My original answer is a bolt action rifle. But the PTR-91's are cool and fun.I have a pre-ban PTR-91, and if I could pick one 308, it wouldn't be that. Nothing wrong with it, I enjoy shooting mine, but it's got limitations.
Don’t always believe YouTube with their sample size of like 2I actually really want one of those, but I'm going to wait until the reviews get better.
I happen to like the g3 pattern rifles. I have one that was an all matching hk that was two saw.cuts and we rebuilt it into a "ptr91".
I’m surprised to see the SCAR-17 mentioned so frequently in this thread, didn’t think it had much of a following. Not a knock, it’s what I have too and is my choice for this thread.My Scar-17.
The M1A Scout is the first thing I will be purchasing if Bianchi ever gets decided correctly. The Ruger Gunsite Scout is my favorite .308 in the meantime.I have my M1A Scout and thanks to the MGA, I'm glad I got it when I did.
If I was looking to replace it, I would stay with a Scout rifle setup.
Most likely a Mossberg MVP or Savage due to costs.
The Steyr and Ruger Gunsite are great but too nice and pricey for a battle rattle/ truck gun.

User dependent. I love me a nice bolt action rifle and I particularly love the Howa 1500/1500 mini series. I've got a mini in 6.5 grendel and in .223. I plan to pick one up in .308 at some point.Years ago I ended up with a bunch of 7.62x51 and ,308
So now I "need" a .308 rifle, Though I have no immediate use for one
Howa bolt action or base grade AR308 ?
Not luck. Just saying.Having been down this road, but wanting to do it with a 223, I kinda went down the rabbit hole and spent a whole lot more than my original budget. However, I LOVE the gun I built. I know that there are guys who like to make claims like, "my gun is a .5 MOA rifle all day long!" Well, this one actually is - if there is a weakness, it's the meat bag behind it. (my rifle is realistically a .25 MOA gun, even though I'm not a .25 MOA shooter.)
So here's what I'd build: (because this is basically what I already did)
-- Bighorn Origin short action
-- Shilen or Criterion prefit barrel (with Savage style barrel nut)
-- Triggertech trigger (I chose the Primary)
-- KRG Bravo Chassis - this is a wonderful option that allows for AICS pattern magazines, an easily adjustable comb, and spacers for correct LOP. It also looks like a stock, even though it's a chassis.
-- Scope of your choosing
Dunno - maybe I just got lucky, but my build is insanely accurate. I love the fact that I got to choose everything that went into it, and I put it together in my home.
