I have a CZ550 Varmint in .308. I have a Burris XTR312 on it and a Ase Utra suppressor. I also have a Harris bipod. I like this rifle. With a combination of luck and perseverance, I put this set up together for way less than I should have.
I only ever use it for range trips. If I get my licence, I might well use it for hunting. I tailored some loads to it to get about 0.7MOA at 100m. 1.5 MOA today with surplus.
I shoot it at 100 and 300m and very occasionally at 600m. That is as far civilians get to shoot in Estonia.
At a metric ton, it is heavy and only holds 4 -shots. Admittedly, I don't need more for hunting or targets. I just like 10 round mags....
In other words, it's a pretty great rifle and gives me an almost convincing sense of security, given our eastern neighbour is The Bear.
So am I mad to be even considering selling it to buy the Savage Scout .308 that I saw in the shop the other day?
I'd need a new scope, potentially a suppressor adaptor and 600m might be harder with the shorter barrel and lost velocity, yet it calls me.
Viable option, or just new-gun-itis screwing with my common sense?
