Buy gun on type hunting you plan on doing. You don't need a long range cannon to carry up a tree if you plan on hunting 100 yards or less. You may need one if you are hunting 300 yards sitting in a hut or watching a powerline. Lot of variables to consider to get more out of that scope than just .308 caliber.

Tikka T3.... it is a Sako, has the same barrel straight off the same assembly line, and the action is like butter.

Why buy a used Sako when you can get a new one.As already mentioned they are called Tikka T3.I like mine more than any rifle I have ever owned.It don't look much like a Tikka anymore since I have done a little customizing but it's still the same tack driver at heart.It is the only rifle I have ever owned that I could just go to walmart and tell the girl at the counter to give me a box of 30-06 shells and not have to worry about what brand she gave me.It will shoot anything accurately.Some better than others but so far everything I have put through the barrel has been good enough to drill a deer at long range.

Consider a breach break ...
Its a single shot , con to some.
Pro;
Same barrel length but shorter overall gun length.
More accurate than a bolt action.
Less expensive.
Easy to handle in confined space.
Btw .308 is a great round for most of our circumstances.

Good huntin..

Weatherby S2 Vanguard or Howa 1500 in stainless. Both will be sub 1" rifles, most likely. Savage is a solid choice, too. Lots of good rifles in your price range. Personally, I'd steer clear of Remington but all the others mentioned are good choices, in my opinion.

Ok, I'll agree that's debatable, it would certainly depend on the quality of the gun. However a breach load will hold the round tighter with less play in the chamber. I could see if there is play at the break that might effect accuracy.
