If I was in the market for a .308 I would seriously consider this. Ticks all your boxes, Howas are bloody good value rifles, and this one is already suppressed. Quite a decent scope too

I was in your position just shy of 2 year ago. Went .308 for ease and cost of ammo and cheaper to suppress than .270. Was going to buy a Howa package as it was everything and in that bracket....

Just a couple of points for comparing different calibres: Unless you are going to use Maximum Point Blank Range, don't compair bullet drop. Use danger space instead: Let's say the deer is at 400m...

Having been shooting over 60 yrs and was one of the first hunters to try the short barrel craze( back in 74) I am now convinced it's a crazy idea, stick to 22 min or better still 24, that's the sweet...

Problem with packages is that one component often lets down the whole lot, usually the scope. I think .308 is a good start, but consider .243 as well. Don't buy anything weird. It may be the next...
