So i have decided that the most price appropriate option for me is a bolt action rifle. I like the .308 and .30-06 for their avilability and performance. I was long considering a Ruger American Rifle, but they are selling faster than ruger can make them. I have been considering the Remington...

Hi there! As school nears the end I am starting to think about my summer break. I am planning to go take my firearm safety course, getting my PAL and buy my first rifle. I have been reading reviews and it seems Savage makes good rifles for the money. I'm thinking about this rifle (Savage Axis...

Im on a budget around $500, has anyone shot or know anything about this rifle? It seems to be pretty good on reviews.. It is a Mossberb Atr 100 Night train in 308 caliber.. Im just looking to upgrade somewhat from my old 742 woodmaster 30-06 hunting rifle.. Any advice on this gun...

Looking at ballistics I see that the .243 has much less drop than the .308, would that also mean that the .243 is more accurate? This would mostly be a rifle used to hunt white tail. I have heard that the .243 will cause more damage to edible meat due to the higher velocity, would it really...

I have been looking and researching and talking with people about bolt action high powered rifles. And Ive come to the conclusion that when i find the right one I would perfer a .308. A couple days ago I found this, it is the Mossberg 308, 100 ATR Night Train Special Purpose Bolt-Action Rifle...

Ms gillard, with the help of my accountant has decided to get me a rifle in exchange for all that tax they so generously take from me every week. budget is 1000-1500 all up including scope, bipod etc. I'm mainly interested in a .308 or a .30-06 looking at a howa 1500 in a knox axiom stock, A...

I want to get a bolt gun for hunting and long range accuracy. Just don't want to spend over $400 for one. I have looked at the reviews and such on the net. just wanted to see if any of you have personal experience or suggestions on one. Thanks.

I've found an amazing deal on a scoped combo. Only problem is one is a .30-06 and the other is a .308. Which would ya'll recommend. I know availability of the .308 would far exceed the 06, but damn I love that 30-06
