These are the two rifles that I’m considering right now, the Sig at $1250 ish and the Savage at $1175 ish. The main purpose of the rifle is primarily hunting in and then long range shooting (just for fun, not in comps or anything).
I like the Sig because it can be very compact, but what concerns me is the lack of reviews in .308 from such a short barrel. I love the folding stock, makes it super easy to carry around the woods and whatnot. My suppressor is also 9” long and weighs 24oz so the shorter barrel is less prone to barrel flex.
The Savage seems like an amazing deal with a Proof Research barrel. It is a lot longer than I’d like though, it’s only an inch shorter than the Sig barrel with the 9” suppressor. Overall it seems like one barrel is a littler shorter than I’d like, and one is a little too long.
The last thing I’m unsure about is how well some of these bullets will group at lower velocity. It looks like 168s will do about 2466 FPS and 175s will be almost to 2400 FPS.
If y’all have any input on either of these guns, that’d be greatly appreciated. I’m also open to other options too if you have something to recommend.
