Thread: Remington .308

Finally back in NZ after 6 months in Afghanistan and have told my wife that I am getting a new rifle (that's right, I told her, put my foot down and told her I was spending a couple of grand on a new rifle). I am looking at a Remington 700 Tactical in .308. Bushnell Trophy XLT 6-18x40 scope, Gunworks surpressor and a bipod. Mainly be hunting in the N Island and predominately for deer, all types, but I live in the middle of Sambar country so will hopefully snag a few of them.

Any thoughts on my choices? I'm pretty new to hunting, I've been shooting all my life, but only just caught the hunting bug so any advice would be good.
