I think you're good with what you already have. I'd spend the money on a better scope if all you have is $200 glass on the gun. Oh yes, and keep buying ammo  ;)

Alright just to give everybody an update on what gun i ended up buying.  After taking everyone's advice on what to gun to get I settled on getting a 7mm-08.  So a few weeks ago I went down to my local sporting goods store to pick one out.  I started talking to the guy behind the counter and told him I was looking for a 7mm-08.  He told me they didn't have any in stock. I asked if he could order one and he said yeah but he couldn't guarantee that it would be in before I needed it.  He told be me he had a .308 that I might be interested in.  I asked him to look at it.  So he goes in the back a brings it out tells me that they can't keep this gun in stock and just got this one this morning.  I open up the box and it is the new ruger gunsite scout.  So I have read alittle bit about these guns online.  Everybody seems to like them alot, but after reading about them I didn't know if it was the right gun for me.  So I take it out of the box and picked it up and just like that i was sold. This gun just felt great in my hands light weight and compact.  So I bought it.  Mounted a 4x16 scope on it and headed to the range.  After shooting at the range and putting a few 1/2" groups on the target a 100 yards i was glad with my purchase.  I have taken it out into the woods a couple times and it is a great gun for hiking and getting around with.  Now all i need to do is be in the right place at the right time go knock something down with this thing.  Thanks again for all your guys opinions it was very helpful.

Cool man! Glad you got a rifle! Sounds like it shoots well, hope you are able to induce a dirt nap with it on a deer or elk this year!
