Buy recommendations .308

Looking for advice/input on what to get or build.

I want a hybrid rifle chambered in .308. One that is good for backpacking/hunting/target shooting. I don’t want it to be only a bench rifle, for that I will get a Tikka T3X Ace Target or TAC A1 most likely in 6.5 Creedmor.

So far I’m trying to choose between

Sig Cross 16”
MRA Maverick 12.5” or 16”
Tikka CTR w/ MDT HNT26 Chassis
Tikka CTR w/ MDT The Tactical-LSS Gen3 Kit
Tikka CTR w/ MDT The Worker-LSS Gen3 Kit
Tikka components

They all have their pros/cons and tradeoffs.

Preferably I would like a shorter barrel.

I’d really appreciate your input/advice and thank you in advance for your responses!

Damn why the aggression towards Tikka fans 😂 I never even thought of them as LARPer guns they're just very nice for hunting and generally have very few issues

Lots of gums flapping about how accurate guys and their tikkas are, yet mostly feet pics, sks mag dumps and Benelli knockoff videos, die of old age searching for a guy posting his recorded groups with one of the Tikkas

There's "proof or stfu" and there's being a complete goof. You seem to be choosing the latter bud and it's just super uncalled for.

Stick with the former, keep this place at least kinda positive, cuz it ain't classy with all the feet.

I never said I’m complaining about what’s being posted rather happy to know the odd Turkish shotgun isn’t a waste of money, and SKS punching steel is a satisfying ring, tad tiring when people claim how accurate their Tikka is and never follow it up, you seem to relish sitting in that camp though.

You want an argument have it with someone else. Your lack of reading comprehension and repeating your points nobody is arguing with annoys me.

And yet here you sit, arguing.
