Sometime this winter I'm planning on buying a longer range hunting rifle than my 30-30. I've been using my Dad's 30.06 whenever I want to hunt across a field - he doesn't really hunt any more - but I've decided to get something of my own.
The two models I've been looking at in particular are the TC Icon precision hunter, and the Weatherby RC varmint - both in .308.
Both are about the same price (~$1100), and both are claim to shoot sub MOA. Whichever I wind up choosing I plan to top with a Bushnell yardage pro range-finding scope.
I'm currently leaning towards the Weatherby, but have in no way made a decision. What I'm looking for here is either insight as to which one would be better, or alternatives. I've done a lot of rifle shooting, but not a lot of rifle buying, so any help is appreciated.
