So I'm in the market for a 308. I'm looking at the savage trophy hunter and the savage axis II. I have also looked a bit at the Ruger American. I'm still leaning towards the trophy hunter. I guess I like the package the action is better than axis. The scope is decent Nikon 3-9 with a BDC rectical. Axis II does have the Accu trigger but the low end action. The Ruger isn't to bad either adjustable trigger. I've never **** a Ruger bolt gun so hard to tell about how it feels since I've never molested one. 600 dollar range is where I wat to be. Purpose of gun is not just target and not just hunting. So heavy barrel carrying around on a hunt not interested.
