[QUOTE="waspocrew, post: 2390595, member: 78732"] Just a few of my thoughts... I like your thinking - a .308 is a great round! Regarding the rifles you mention, I have only shot the Tikka (I've owned a T3 in a few cals including .308, and currently have a CTR in .223). I've only handled the Waypoint and Bergara in a local shop. From personal experience, I'd be inclined to purchase the CTR in .308. You're right, the factory stock isn't too great, but there are plenty of awesome options (Manners, AG composites, or even a KRG Bravo). With a CTR, you'd be ~ $1000 for the rifle and have some wiggle room for a stock, rings, etc. Toss in a $10 trigger spring and you'll be sitting pretty. The Waypoint did seem like a nice rifle. Action was pretty smooth and trigger felt nice. I think it has good potential but still pretty new at this point. I've only handled the Bergara, but it seemed alright. Action wasn't nearly as smooth as Tikka, etc. but they seem to have a good following and reputation for accuracy. A Seekins Havak Bravo in .308 could be a consideration as well - they've upgraded the bolt which is now much smoother and shoot very well. This should fall in the same price point as the Waypoint.
