Thread: Advice on new .308 Remington ,Savage, Mossberg, Other ??

Definitely handle a few and see what fits you, if you can't test fire then at least hold a few in gun shops to get a feel for them.

I like the Savages personally (Mod 10/12/14/16 family rather than Axis) - best factory trigger I've used, nice strong action, 3-stage tang safety, generally regarded as one of the better brands for accuracy (though any modern rifle should be fine for hunting accuracy really).

Also worth considering Howa, Tikka, Ruger, Marlin, no shortage of options.
