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!

Variety can be the spice of life. Considering u might get the Tikka ACE, having a Sig Cross aswell could be a nice change.

Variety can definitely be the spice of life! I’ve heard a lot of great things about the Sig Cross, my main thing holding me back from buying it is if I can build something similar for around the same price or more that is way better than the Sig Cross. Way better in regards to being able to customize it, aftermarket parts, barrel quality, etc.
