[QUOTE="Ridgerunner665, post: 236974, member: 12660"] You can get the best of both worlds... Remington SPS Tactical with a 20 inch barrel...not too heavy, very accurate, and well balanced. Some people are afraid of the short barrel...but I been shooting 308's for going on 30 years, and I figured out loooong ago that they lose very little speed with a 20 inch barrel...my SPS Tactical can get 168 grain Ballistic Tips going at 2,700 fps with 44.5 grains of Reloder 15...and I can safely go faster, but that load is accurate and fast enough to reach 1000 yards without worrying about it going transonic. 175 SMK's can get to 2,640 fps. With a 308...you really have to get the "dope" right....drop is easy to figure and fairly constant...wind is a challenge, but its doable...either than or I been REAL lucky for a loooong time.
