[QUOTE="britz, post: 216308, member: 7865"] Especially if you don't reload, the 308 is one of the best out there because of the huge selection of match grade ammo. The T3 lite stainless sythetic has a free floated barrel. Not to kick a dead horse, but I honestly don't think you will need a heavy varmint barrel to preform well enough to take big game out to 500 yards. But remember, the 308 will do fine on deer at these ranges, but not much bigger game. Tikka was purchased by Sako several years ago, now Beretta is importing them to the U.S. Forest Ebert. If it doesn't do what it is garanteed to do send it back!! That is what the garantee is all about. I only shot 1 box of factory ammo through mine, and it was a standard federal that shot around 1.25 to 1.5 moa. I handload the rest and it didn't take long for me to find a load that was sub .75 MOA. I will admit that mine didn't shoot 165 grain bullets very well but I switched to 180's and it shoots great. It also shoots 110's pretty darn good. Maybe you should try a different weight too.
