I miss my G3 she was fun but heavy and expensive to feed. ;-) How did that moped joke go?

7.62x51 / 308 is very expensive, but I think demand is decreasing because prices are too. I recently saw "milspec" 7.62x51mm NATO FMJ for $8.75 / 20 rounds. This was brass case ammo.
$437.50 / 1000 isn't "cheap" but it isn't that much more than quality brass case 5.56x45mm.
I shoot Wolf 223 all the time, but haven't had the heart to buy any steel case 762NATO. Now that brass case prices are dropping I might be able to get some use out of my Scar-17 or FAL.

The decrease in price is what is sucking me back into the 308 battle rifle idea.

Not much a person cannot handle with a quality 7.62x51mm.

Been thinking about getting a bolt gun chambered in .308. I have an old Remington 788 that shoots straighter than I do, but lately I've been wanting something more modern. I'll be staying away from the Ruger GSR thanks to some of the stuff I've read here. I'll probably go with something made by Savage.

I had a Howa-made Weatherby and I agree.

Savage has there own version of a scout rifle. It looks interesting.
I have been on a bit of a warranty kick lately. I wanted a Savage 116 in .270 until I found out that Savage only gives 1 year to the original owner. While it's maybe not a deal breaker it does make me think I should look elsewhere first.

I have no personal experience with Savage rifles, but know several shooters who swear by them.
Adam - you're right to stay clear of the Ruger Scout.
I always liked the Remington 7 in 308. Super light and compact but very accurate. I had one in CDL trim - it was very classy.
If I were in the market for a 308 bolt action today, I'd be looking for a Winchester Classic Featherweight Stainless.
