I'm usually not one to jump on the bandwagon and in my opinion Savage actions are just about the ugliest made, but these things just flat shoot and ugly or not, there's no denying their accuracy.

I said Savage because of the reputation for accuracy and the reasonable pricing. I said model 116 because of it's stainless.Savage model 116, 6.5x284, Leupold VX-3 4.5-14x40.I see several guys like this gun/scope combo, what makes it so popular?

6.5 mm bullets have high bc's.
6.5x284 is a factory round that seems to be gaining popularity (probably due to how well guys are doing with it in competition shooting.)
140 gr 6.5 mm bullet at around 2800 fps or so is good medicine for antelope to elk.

Notice the lack of a parts list. It's 'cause you don't need one with a Savage. You buy the gun and all the rest of your money goes into scope and rings. Tah dah! Just like that.

Keep going back and forth between the Savage 116 Weather Warrior and Tikka T3 Lite. Was originally considering the Vanguard S2, but can't get over the fact that it's over a pound heavier, with a shorter barrel length (in .300 WM), and that it's a marked up Howa 1500 (excellent rifle, btw). Do like that it's a forged bolt, however.
Well, it appears I have narrowed it down to the popular options :chuckle:
Was considering the Sake A7 too but lots of reviews are stating they aren't worth the extra over the tikka.
Best of luck!

To shoot 500 yards you do not need a $1500 rifle setup. I would look at a Savage simply because they are extremely accurate shooters out of the box, inexpensive and made in the USA. I have broken way to many remington shotgun parts to trust remington. I picked up a savage 270 wsm and can reliably shoot out to 500-600 yds. I put a Leupold VX3 CDS 4-12x50 scope and the entire package was about $750. I added a black hawk cheek pad which raises my cheek off the stock about 1/2" and carries my magazine when I'm not hunting. If you do want to spend some money I would look carefully at the Kimber's or Tikka, they both have very hit and miss reputations as shooters. Some guns will be sub moa others you will have to send back.
If you look online, the Savage 116 FCSS can be had for ~$30 - $80 more than the Tikka T3 lite, fwiw.

Post by: finnman on January 10, 2016, 07:30:50 PM
I was leaning toward a Kimber Montana in 7mm-08 or .308, however I was going to spend more on the scope, so that rifle put me out of my budget. I have owned 6 different Browning A-bolts, but had trouble finding one that fit my bill since they are not making them any longer. Looked at all of the large gun web sites and finally found someone who was still stocking the older A-bolt II! Believe it or not it was Bass Pro shop in Tacoma! I found a .308 Win in Synthetic Stainless, 22" barrel, for $649! I then found the scope I was already going to get on clearance! I put a Zeiss HD5 2-10x42mm with the Rapid Z 600 ballistic reticle, got it for $649! With Leupold dovetail rings and bases I was at $1,500.
Once I work my loads up I should be clipping paper plates at 500 yards!

Imo to shoot consistently at 500 you will need a scope with parallax (side turret preferred) I'm sure some one will argue it's not needed but ime it will really help with groups when your cross hairs are actually pointing at what your aiming at.
Hard to go wrong with a viper PST.
