A lot of great options out there but my vote goes to the Tikka. I have one in 308 and love it. If you keep it for the long run, there are a TON of great upgrades you can do with wide aftermarket options for Tikkas. Weather you want to upgrade your current stock with a different grip or a cheek rest, or dropping it in a whole new chassis or stock. You have options. Trigger spring kit, bolt handles you name it.
Plus, they are mostly just well made accurate rifles out of the box.
