[QUOTE="Beardeddeer91, post: 1542241, member: 105926"] The browning x-bolt LR models will have faster twist rates, which are much preferred for the high BC bullets shot in LR today. The X-bolt is a nice option because of that fast twist, and out of those two options it would be my choice. I would also suggest looking into Tikka, a Christensen Arms Mesa and ridgline (I own/have shot both and they are lights out - very had to beat for the money IMO). I would also second the fierce, I’ve shot several and they are great shooters. If you are trying to stay right around 6 lbs. the Tikka T3x has some options that are around that and mine in 6.5 CM shoots .5-.75 MOA all day. I would rather have the Fierce or CA ridgeline though, not much more weight and a lot of gun for the price. Out of your two caliber choices I would take the 6.5 CM, as it will do just about everything a 308 will do but is easier to shoot at distance. However, caliber choice is dependent on what you’re wanting to do with it. There are better options than both of those in the rifles mentioned IMO. [/QUOTE]
