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!

The LARPers on here overwhelmingly go hard at the thought of a Tikka, so I’ll buck the trend.

Get the Sig, they’re handy as shit and a sweet setup for the money. You obviously are aware it’s not some 20lb PRS rig and understand it may not be as accurate as such.

Going off most of the inside kids on here only mag dump Benelli knockoffs I’m sure with a little practice you’ll outshoot them despite what they claim their uncles wife’s boyfriends cousins nephew can do with their Tikka

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

I would argue guys talking tikka are generally in long range/hunting subs. I always thought of this sub as a more "general" sub for guns/gun culture in canada. Just my 2 cents.
