Buy recommendations Hunting bolt gun recommendations
Hi everyone, I am looking into getting a 308 bolt action rifle for hunting and some range. I want it to be 20 inches or less and I have narrowed it down to these few:
CVA Cascade SB (Threaded barrel, good price but sort of hard to find)
Tikka T3X Lite Compact (Non threaded barrel, probably the most expensive of all, hard to find and the really expensive mags are a con)
Ruger American Ranch Gen2 (Nice looking rifle, I do have some doubts about a 16 inch barrel and I have heard there might be some issues with the feeding sometimes)
Bergara B14 Ridge SP (Also hard to find and the one I know the least about)
I would like yalls opinion on all of these rifles and if you own them what you guys think of them. Note that I think for this one I would like to buy this gun used and I don't think I would be hunting past 250 meters.
Thank you

May I introduce you to the Franchi Momentum All terrain Elite.
*not just the momentum Elite*
18” floated barrel, flip up irons, fluted bolt, cheek risers, muzzle break, all the bells and whistles you could ask for.
I can currently only find the momentum all terrain (all black, elite is camo) online.
I love this rifle, mine is 308 and I have a 2-14 Athlon scope.. I put shots on top of each other at 200 M and I’m an average shooter at best. And I mean on top of eachother, the advertised “under 1 MOA was true for me.
Takes AICS mags.
10/10 rifle, look it up just for fun at least.
