Factory .308win rifle suggestions?

[VKC]

Looking for a factory bolt-action .308win rifle with magazine for practical long-range shooting and deer hunting. Optics aside, any opinions on the following rifles?

1) Remington 700 target tactical
2) FN A5 M SPR
3) Sako TRG 22
4) CZ 750

Which would you pick, and why? Any other rifles that you would suggest in the same category? Thanks for your help and suggestions.

Styer SSG 69

Tikka T3 lots of models

But looking at your list the one rifle that is "done" from the box and out is the Sako TRG,

the others will require some work/adjusting.

Best regards Chris

1) over priced for what you get
2) Good with a CDI DBM intstalled on it.
3) Best choice for long range out of the box
4) dont know anything about them...

You may wish to watch the for sale section. By the time you fully dress the TRG and to a lesser extent the SPR (unless you like the factory mag) your into the price range of a lot of quality custom rifles for sale here.
If you want new, you could get a Remington varmint. Sell the stock for 50-75 bucks and buy a mcmillan or manners of your choice and be money ahead of choice 1).

My pick would be #2, but I would replace the detachable mag system, since it sucks.

I only know about the Remy and the TRG22

IMO the Remy is overpriced, and it has a triangular barrel whoopdy doo

If you can get the TRG-22, they are a great rifle... a serious contender with the Accuracy International rifles, however at a lower price

If you want accuracy, you can choose also t3 tactical, 'cause has the same barrel of TRG 22.
Both are great rifle out of the box.

Was also thinking Remington 700 target tactical was overpriced, but like the stock.

FN A5 M SPR comes with detachable box magazine too, does it have problems that it needs to be replaced? Have you heard of prior manufacturing problems, and have they been corrected?

Like the Sako TRG 22, but boy accessories are expensive.

Would vote for

1) AIAW
2) AIAE
3) TRG 22

Inexpressive target on youtube, thanks for suggestions. Is the T3 the only one in series that has same barrel as TRG22?

Mags are fine until they break. Two broke on me, they have a unique spring set up and the tops are welded to the top of the mag fore and aft of the follower. The forward spring broke on mine right at the weld.

I didnt know that... Tikka Tactical was going to be my first choice but i opted with a 700P because of the wait i had on the Tikka.

Nice rifles they are the Tikkas

Get an AI AE Mk II and shoot Hornady's Superformance ammo.
