+1 on the crappy scope that come with a package.
Have you looked around at pawn shops? lots out there.
you know, .308 seems to be a hard to find caliber for me, at least when guns are concerned.  .270s and .30-06s all over the place, and lots of .243s, but very few .308 bolt actions i've seen on the used(or even new for that matter) racks.  i got a feeling people tend to hang on to em 

i'm trying to find a good source for a new win m70 featherweight in .308 for when the tax check comes in the mail, haven't had much luck yet.
