Which rifle would be best for hunting but also target shooting? Browning X-Bolt Target Max or X-Bolt Hells Canyon? Bergara B14 HMR? Tikka T3x compact tactical special edition? Other?

Would love to know everyone’s opinions

I’ve already factored in all of those things, that’s why I’m stuck. Budget would be under $3000 (with tax), calibre would be .308 (still considering 6.5 CM) but I’d rather .308 because of the ammo selection, game size would be anything up to a Moose.

And scope research hasn’t started yet but I won’t buy a cheap crappy scope.
