I really like my Ruger Gunsite Scout in .308. Not a featherweight, but a fast handling bolt gun topped with a Leupold FX2-2.5x28. I find the intermediate eye relief scope a real improvement over my other 3x9's. The .308 will do almost everything the .30/06 will do, especially inside 150m. I find the 10 round magazine a plus too, keeps the extra rounds from clinking together in my coat pocket.
