    Thanks everyone for helping. I have decided to go with the "308 Sako A7" thanks for the help. Now I need to choose a scope :/

    Should of gone with a 243 lol. But then again, my back up rifle is a 308 so good choice. Not sure about the A7, better value out there i recken. But if you must dont they do a package deal with the Burris fullfield ii 3-9-40 with that.( Good scope). Still, browning x bolt would be a better choice than a A7. Only because all i heard is people want to sell them to "upgrade" and dont hear a shit load about how good they are. On the other hand the x bolts sell out faster than i can gut a deer

    Ooh my god I can't believe I have just seen this thread, 3 pages and only started last night
    I love the 308, don't think you can go wrong, in saying that I haven't played with much else (yet), nothing wrong with buying more guns after the fact if you feel the need.
    Scopes well that's a different story, how much do you want to spend (I've normally run out off money after buying the gun) how far do you want to shoot (that doesn't really matter because you will always want to shoot further).
    Join the club, your f##ked either way
    Hope that helped
