I'm looking for a out of the box 308 that I can use as a 600yd plinker. I'm thinking about a Rem 700 XCR Tactical LR, Maybe a VTR Target Tactical but I'm not crazy about the triangular barrel. What else can you guys suggest?

Remington 5R. Tack driver right out of the box. I have one that will shoot 5 shot ragged holes all day long with the right handload.

Tika T3
Savage (various)
Any R700 up from the base models.
Of course for me it would be a Weatherby
I have not tried the Brownings
So many good to great out of the box in 308.
its a good rifle I have one in 06 I got moa with factory ammo (cheap stuff) and sub moa with fed gold medal match, and clover leafs with hand loads, I haven't done anything to it but installed a scope and barrel break in. I wish I could get my trigger below 3.5# but its ok I was thinking of bedding the action to see if I can get a little more out of her I've been running 200gr.smks in her thinking it could use a tightening up at the recoil lug....They are very underrated but are quite the shooter with the 5R barrel not to mention nicely priced and the MOA accuracy guarantee.
A co-worker bought one in .270 Win last year despite having already owned an Icon in the same caliber. He liked it so much he just bought another in .300 Win Mag earlier this week.
