I have about every traditional caliber of deer rifle you can imagine, except a .308.
I’m looking for suggestions for a highly accurate bolt-action .308 out of the box (as much as it can be).
My shots are less than 200 yds.
Just wanting different suggestions.
I don’t have a BAR, but I know they aren’t known for dead eye accuracy.

Since browning fixed the horrible triggers, the new BARs actually shoot pretty dang good. My buddy just bought one in a 7-08 and I was surprised at how well it shot with 150gr Norma whitetail. Really nice rifles also. Just about every brand of rifle nowadays shoot way better then most people can shoot. Definitely better than I can shoot them. Always had excellent performance from savage but I bought a Tikka T3X Hunter this year and it’s a really great shooting rifle.

You looking at new or gently used ? How much ya wanta spend?
I've owned several pre-76, true Belgium BARs, in various calibers and all were good shooters , some just as good or better as off the shelf bolt guns.

I’ve got a Remington Model Seven stainless with a 20” barrel(in 7-08 and 308) for sell, if you’re interested send me a PM.
83% of all statistics are made up.

Howa makes a great rifle at a variety of price points.
Same with the Tikka T3, Ruger American, and Weatherby Vanguard series.
I have had great luck with all of these regarding accuracy.

Steyr for bolt action, Browning BLR for non bolt action.

There's a reason why the Remington 700 has been one of the best military sniper rifles for 50 years.
My opinions and comments are my own. They do not reflect the position or political opinions of Aldeer or any of the Aldeer administration.

Savage 110s are probably the ugliest bolt rifle this side of a Mosin Nagant. They shoot quite well out of the box. Any decent bolt gun that feels good in your hands inside 200 yards is the best pick. And yes the new Remington 700s are included.

There's a reason why the Remington 700 has been one of the best military sniper rifles for 50 years. I bought my son an inexpensive ADL prob 5 years ago in 308. Shoots hornady AM whitetail a little under MOA and it will cloverleaf my handloads.

I have a custom rifle that I built from a 1986 model 700 barreled action with a 3lb Timney trigger.
Bedded action, fully floating barrel in a walnut stock that I trimmed, cut and fitted with LOP specifically measured to my arm.
I've got some prettier and fancier rifles but non can match the 700 for consistency.

Tikka or Bergara both my Tikkas shoot sub moa but picky on ammo, I spent a lot of $ figuring that out. Ended up being 165 SST and 150 Fusions. The Bergara is less picky. The only thing that’s weird about it is that it will throw a cold bore shot high and left by 3”

I like my xbolt speed sr. Just the right size with the 18” barrel. I looked hard at the b14 ridge special purpose as well.
