[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1440515, member: 12995"] Go with the 700 5R Milspec, and just swap the trigger with an aftermarket unit. You should be good to go. I love the .308 Win, and if you want one in .308 Win, get it. Don't worry about what others think. I have the same rifle you are asking about, and it shoots sub-1/4 MOA groups with handloads. Despite what all the 6.5mm supporters say, the .308 Win is still a very capable round (thanks to modern components & technology), and is very often overlooked due to the recent 6.5 craze going on in the US right now. But since everyone keeps trying to get you to go the 6.5mm route, and if you decide to go that direction, Rem offers a 5R Milspec in .260 Rem, but not sure if you can get it over there... Factory part # is 85195. [/QUOTE]
