.308

[u/noahdesouza]

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!

I feel like this isn't the first time I've seen your name pop up in this sub throwing the same insults at a hypothetical group of firearms owners just for the sake of being pissy. Don't let what strangers on reddit (that might not even be real people) do irritate you so much, you'll be happier for it

Maybe, it is peach season so I’ve been on the porcelain throne more than usual.

Dunno man, Tikka kids like talking their guns up but when it comes to posting group sizes they disappear like Chinese mildurp 7.62. The SKS guys are always posting groups, Tikka kids though….

"It is peach season so I’ve been on the porcelain throne more than usual." I feel that 😂

People spending all their money on gear thinking it will make up for only shooting 100 rounds a year is definitely a thing so I'll give you that. My range is pretty bad for it, $8000 dollar rifles shooting 4 moa groups. It used to irritate me, but now it just feels good to be reminded that all the money in the world cant replace all the trigger time and practice I've put in

That’s what I’m getting at, they seem to be the go to for the guy who wants an easy button and doesn’t put the time in
