Looking for some suggestions. I'm going to be picking up a new deer rifle this year to replace a Whidden 6.5CM that I sold. Loved the gun but it was too heavy and long for what I'm wanting.
Here's what I'm looking for:
.308 with a nice synthetic stock
Threaded to accept a suppressor and short enough barrel to manage in a tower stand with kids all around me
Nice trigger and dummy proof safety in case I hand it to one of my kids
Accurate out to long ranges if needed
I'm sure there's plenty that fit the bill but I haven't really kept up with the market recently. I was thinking a Winchester M70 Extreme Weather but can't seem to find them in .308 anymore. Not terribly concerned with budget but if it gets too high, I'd go custom over factory.
