I have two 308. One a precision bolt action rifle, and on the heavy side, also an AR-10 which is also heavy but has a different purpose. I gave my youngest son my only light weight 308 I had a Remington 700. I plan on adding another bolt action. I'm looking at the American, or the Thompson Center Venture 2 for a light weight hunter bolt action rifle.Define best. The intended use would be helpful as well. Is the best rifle the one that will print the smallest groups? Or does it have a solid, comfortable stock, smooth action and feed reliably without hangups? In most cases, I would trade a bit of theoretical accuracy for a better stock and a smoother rifle but I don't spend any more time shooting from a bench than I absolutely have to.
