I'm on the market for the best .308 rifle and scope I could get for shooting targets at 750 yards. I am beginner but want to try advance I want a scope with mil-dot. The thing is I don't know what scopes are the cheap ones or the best that money could buy same goes for the rifle. Also do the scope mounts make a difference or does it not matter? |

that looks like quite a rifle package at a reasonable price. Probably could be considered a "best buy". I do have a bit of an issue with their scope choices, but they do allow you to choose "other" and special order a scope. Hard to beat.

Mel is happy to get a SS and put it on the rifle package. I would go that route and have him put a 10X SS on it.

Lets assume for a minute that you are not into $3000 plus rifles and $3000 plus scopes and examine what I would buy without sacrificing ability of the equipment.
rifle remmington R5 Mil Spec .308
rings Talley lightweight ringmounts or TPS ring and mount or Badger Ordnance.
Scope I have a 10x HD Super Sniper on mine but the Zeiss Conquest below might make sense for you just starting out, any of the scopes below would work for you.

The older style of Super Sniper also has lots of internal adjustment to dial in correction they come 6x or 10x two styles 16x, and 20x and are a bargain but the scopes above are even better and I would prefer them. There are less expensive rifles than the R5 that will work the Remmington varmit rilfes heavy barrel Howa's Tikkas Savages all have good reputation for accuracy. I prefer stainless so I like the tikkas and the R5

The sniper central package is definitely one of the most reasonable I have seen. Accprding to their calculator, one could get a very good package for well under $2k... including a scope.

I agree, it pretty much takes the guess work out of the equation. You get a pro job done on the stock swap and scope mounting, plus it's already sighted in. If you fail with that rig, it's YOU, not the gun.

"Best" is a very nebulous term. A better way to say it might be "best rifle/scope for $2K" or "5K" whatever your budget is. There are som many excellent rifles for not allot of money, and so many really excelent rifles for a whole lot of money. I have a PSG P2 w/Kahles that has always shot better than me ;) . An example might be https://secure.tcarms.com/store/icon-warlord-in-308-win.html that is allot of rifle for the $$$ IMO.

If you are going to get the whole rifle/scope package, you should get one from SWFA.
If memory serves me right, they put together (or at least used to) packages with Savage 10FP rifles and S.S. scopes. Howas are decent, but I will take Savage with the S.S. over Howa with the Elite 3200 any day of the week and twice on weekends. ILya

I think I'm the only person that posts here that doesn't think much of the trigger on a trigger accutrigger set-up. Wasn't aware that SWFA was selling tactical package deals. |

Yup, don't like it. Just a personal preference I reckon.

I've got a Savage Mark II .17 HM2 and I love the round, but would love more being able to swap triggers with any of my Marlins.

I would say a budget of 3,000. I live in a small farm town in the valley so I have a lot of free land to shoot.
