    So the axis and the 700 made it but the Winchester xpr didn’t make the cut

    Please dont ever say "Palmeeto" ever again.



  4. Tam Midkiff on November 3, 2021 at 11:19 pm

    The photos/videos in this review do NOT tend to depict 308 capable platforms.
    Small female firing 9mm.
    Grunts firing pencil barrel 5.56.
    Junk video



  5. Ike Yeet on November 3, 2021 at 11:19 pm

    howa 1500, over all the guns you listed.



  6. Mark Norwood on November 3, 2021 at 11:20 pm

    Palmetto State Armory
    "Pal Mee to"?????
    Why can’t we get Narrators that are "Well Versed Enough" to at least pronounce the names right instead of just reading a script.
    Loses any credibility when they don’t even know how to pronounce the name.😞😞😞😞😞



  7. Ruthless4645 on November 3, 2021 at 11:20 pm

    Remington 700!, are they still even making that piece of junk in 2021?. Most guys I know buy a 700, come to their senses and throw it away. Then they buy a Tikka, Weatherby, Browning, Bergara or a Howa so they can shoot straight. Man that company (if it’s even still around) has fallen soooo far from grace it’ll will never rebuild it’s former glory days.



  8. Hale Torrance on November 3, 2021 at 11:23 pm

    The first rifle I fired was my buddy’s 30-06. Was not as bad as I always heard!



  9. Anthony Burke on November 3, 2021 at 11:24 pm

    I love the calibre, the problem is



  10. Myrtle Beach Wolfman on November 3, 2021 at 11:24 pm

    Remington 700 🤣🤣 not anymore. There garbage



  11. Mofo Jackson on November 3, 2021 at 11:24 pm

    Thank you so much for this. Definitely a big help for shopping and considering some likely options for my first .308



  12. Barackmycat on November 3, 2021 at 11:25 pm

    Just my 2 cents but the accu-trigger is just not right for me. I had two of these and couldn`t wait to ditch them. Just keep it simple with a regular good crisp trigger.



  13. jonniez62 on November 3, 2021 at 11:26 pm

    Well, DPMS is Palmetto State…



  14. Omarn Simpson on November 3, 2021 at 11:27 pm

    I will not stand for this Howa 1500 erasure!



  15. Roger Shelton on November 3, 2021 at 11:27 pm

    You left out the TC Compass and Compass 2.Great rifles,with exceptional features at a very affordable price as well as super accuracy guarantee.For around 400 dollars they are hard to beat



  16. Nathan Matzen on November 3, 2021 at 11:30 pm

    308 sucks.
    Made by 30-06 gang



  17. politicallyinsensitive on November 3, 2021 at 11:30 pm

    "Why the .308?" Because it’s AVAILABLE right now.

    I have an Axis 2 in 6.5CM but am planning to add an Axis in .308 in the next few weeks.



  18. Augustus P on November 3, 2021 at 11:32 pm

    Who tf is Paul Meato? Lol



  19. Business Email on November 3, 2021 at 11:32 pm

    Remington 700 police with the 26 heavy barrel will still be my forever favorite



  20. James West on November 3, 2021 at 11:36 pm

    This will be my first year hunting with a new 308 bolt sausage I usually hunt with a 270 model 710



  21. Armed Primates on November 3, 2021 at 11:37 pm

    I own the ruger American and will be adding the ACIS to mines this winter



  22. Sean G on November 3, 2021 at 11:37 pm

    The ruger American goes for about 350 without an optic. My android smartphone costed me about 1k. I can get a bad ass ruger precision for not much more or the sig cross for a little bit more.
    Thanks for the video.



  23. Bird Dog on November 3, 2021 at 11:38 pm

    The more you talk the more convincing you are that you don’t know what you’re talking about and blurt out what you got in the mail from American Rifleman



  24. Josh Freeman on November 3, 2021 at 11:41 pm

    I just bought a howa 1500 in 308, impressed with it so far



  25. Longbarrel24 on November 3, 2021 at 11:41 pm

    *laughs in never shot anything other than a 12 ga until I was 16*



  26. tHE HECk on November 3, 2021 at 11:41 pm

    Tikka T3



  27. Paul Weaver on November 3, 2021 at 11:42 pm

    I suggest you purchase a decent rifle to begin with why struggle with a inaccurate rifle and barrel and malfunctions and spend a lot extra money trying to make it a clean accurate reliable rifle.
    Cheapyosity isn’t always smart



  28. Loving Idaho on November 3, 2021 at 11:46 pm

    1 t/c compass, 2 savage axis and 3 ruger american . Their accuracy is in that order . I have all 3 .I would not own a newer 700, to many issues .



  29. Charles Love on November 3, 2021 at 11:47 pm

    308 30/30 30/06 are the best for Deer hunting I prefer the 30/30 unfortunately no thanks to former President Obama. It’s hard to fiend 30/30 ammo any more. And now we have this Fraud for president we may never see the good old 30/30 rounds again.



  30. Brian on November 3, 2021 at 11:53 pm

    wow. dumb advice



  31. bryan Jaeck on November 3, 2021 at 11:53 pm

    Well boys and girls, I liked the the 308 in the US Army and it worked in 100% at that era (M-14 late 1960;s) . I Later owned one ( Rem 700 )and it was great for everything in North America hunting. The only limitation I found was elk , you hand to be right on target. At 300 plus yards a 308 could do the job if you were a real rifleman at 300 yards plus, on elk, If I had to choose one rifle caliber for North America it would be a .308 for everything. Deer, moose, bear, ,elk, all died quickly using a 308…



  32. Marcus Watkins on November 3, 2021 at 11:53 pm

    My R700 sps in 308 cost around $375 without a scope and my AR10 was about $1200 without. Saying they’re similar price points is absurd 🥴



  33. Kris Deagle Photography on November 3, 2021 at 11:55 pm

    No Mauser, Sauer, Tikka, Weatherby, Bergara…hmm.



  34. Moldovawineimporter Moldova Traders LLC on November 3, 2021 at 11:56 pm

    The 308 was the worst I ever used !



  35. MileHigh AZ on November 3, 2021 at 11:57 pm

    Why do you show a 22 mag when talking .308?



  36. i am007 on November 3, 2021 at 11:57 pm

    Diamondback DB10 with 18” fluted barrel fresh out d box will kick all of these gun’s asses!! No B.S 💪🏽💯



  37. cmmguy on November 3, 2021 at 11:57 pm

    Umm… where was the Browning BAR .308?



  38. Fernando Franco on November 3, 2021 at 11:58 pm

    Howa 1500, Tikka, and Mossberg now days are fairy comparable to the Ruger and Savage for affordability and accuracy.



  39. Adam Ganim on November 3, 2021 at 11:59 pm

    I don’t have a .308 but I do have a
    M48 in 8mm basically the German version of 30/6



  40. john carter on November 4, 2021 at 12:02 am

    Thank you for a very practical walk through. So many of these kinds of videos are so focused on the features that they lose sight of why people are using them. Keep it going!



  41. Harold Godwinson on November 4, 2021 at 12:06 am

    Advocating semi-auto, high-capacity mag, pseudo-assault rifles for ‘hunting’ is frankly just ludicrous. Yes, they can be made to work but in the same sense that a rock-crawling 4×4 can work as a daily driver. If you want a good reliable big game rifle, just get a bolt action. As far as cartridges go, a .308 is fine. If you want slightly less recoil consider a 7mm-08 or a .243 Win. If you’re new to hunting stay well away from anything with ‘magnum’ at the end of it’s name. A hard recoiling rifle can make shooting very unpleasant. The last thing you want to develop is a ‘flinch’. For new shooters I’d suggest .308 Win as the absolute upper limit.



  42. Kris Greenwood on November 4, 2021 at 12:07 am

    Reloading for the 308 is so simple. If you can find powder and primers. I have resized 308 brass down to .243. It is a great and versatile round.



  43. EspiOne and the things I do on November 4, 2021 at 12:07 am

    I personally own two of these, the Rem. 700 and the Springfield M1A SOCOM models.



  44. Terry DeRush on November 4, 2021 at 12:08 am

    I like 👍your video.



  45. Bird Dog on November 4, 2021 at 12:08 am

    Lol ya buy a 308 but I’m going to show someone shooting a 17HMR.



  46. Quinn Moore on November 4, 2021 at 12:10 am

    With today’s prices for ammo i can’t even afford to shoot. It makes me sad. I miss the days of 14 cents a shot. I’ve been getting into .22 a lot more just for practicality and practice



  47. Ilya Yefremov on November 4, 2021 at 12:10 am

    Not sure why you would include a semi-auto in a list of bolt-action rifles, or vice-versa, if your hunting, most cases you can’t use semi-auto rifle due to hunting regulation, if your not hunting, why would you even consider a bolt action as a good choice for your first .308/7.62Nato rifle, if your doing some rifle training for tactical defense or just to have fun, a bolt action can’t compare to a semi-auto in a real tactical situation, bolt actions are for hunting or a specific bolt action competition, this is comparing apples to oranges, just doesnt work.



  48. garra villa on November 4, 2021 at 12:10 am

    3:40 is when he starts talking about the individual rifles



  49. FALC0N_force gaming on November 4, 2021 at 12:10 am

    Home defense? Jesus Christ that’s overkill. .. use a 308 if you don’t mind shooting your neighbors neighbor…



  50. Charles Hardison on November 4, 2021 at 12:11 am

    Nice informative review. Thank you
