Whatever it is, it should be a bolt action. So our SIG 716 in 308 is a bad choice ????  Just heavy and gassy.

One that always had my eye and I could have had for dirt cheap (<$400 OTD) was the Savage Hog Hunter ![[Linked Image]](https://www.savagearms.com/DAM/assets/web/800/1730553.png)

The American Gen II is pretty darn nice. No zipper bolt, either. 3 position safety, fluted, cerakote, with a brake, and a much better magazine that the original. Worth the extra $100 over the original. If they offer it in .308 in the Ranch configuration, it would be a great little suppressed hunting rifle.
