I have a couple uncles who are into model 700 Remingtons, although I think they are 30-06 not 308. They always seem to hit. I used a model 94 Winchester 30-30 because it is what I have and around here you almost never shoot over 100 yards because of the woods, brush, and lay of the land. The deer hunting isn't really my bag anymore, but if you need to get it out of your system, I bet you have an acquaintance who would loan you a rifle to see if it is your bag and that way you can try different models without the investment.
