The .308 Win has ballistics that are very close to the 30-06.
The .308 Win equals or surpasses the accurary of the 30-06.
The .308 Win has a shorter bolt throw than the 30-06.
The .308 Win shoots 7.62×51mm NATO so the availability of ammo is assured for many years.
The .308 Win has a greater variety of bullet choices.

IMO, the Remington 700 equals or surpasses the Savage or Ruger in function, quality, machining and aesthetics. The Remington 700 has a good selection of options for barrel lengths and styles as well as choices for different stocks.

BTW, I am prejudice. Can you guess what I own? ;-)

thats exactly why we chose the 308 in the military, oorah =].

the weatherby ain't bad. I bought one in 308 and its hard to beat for a guranteed 1.5 MOA. what aftermarket stuff are u looking for? ive found nice stuff for it on amazon. btw, the scope on the savage is probably on the low end aint not worth buying in the bundle.
