Upgrading target rifle

[u/NoGrapefruit1213]

I’m looking for some recommendations I currently have a savage axis in .308win it’s in a mdt field stock. Had an older tasco 4-16 scope. It works it great but I want something different/better/tacticool. I’m considering 3 options.
I plan on upgrading to an Arken epl4 6-25x50 scope regardless of what I do

Option 1 buy a new axis 2 with the fluted and treaded barrel so I can add a brake and what not then swap my feild stock out and list the old axis to recoupe some

Option 2 utas straight pull .308

Option 3 (leaning this way, just most expensive by far) savage 110 precision also in .308

I do mostly bench shooting and have targets currently out to 500 yards. I think the 110 is my best option. The axis2 would by far be the cheapest upgrade and the utas just looks cool and they claim to be accurate plus I like straight pulls. Is there something else I should be looking at? I’d like to stay under/around that 2k and only consider .308 as I have a good stock of ammo and I grew up shooting with that. I like it okay.

The equivalent to what I’m looking for in a Bergara and vortex would be 3-4x my budget lol the Arken has click adjustments so you don’t have to hold over either which I really don’t like doing I’m always second guessing where I had it last so if a guy can dial it in that’s a huge plus
