M1A is the way to go, scout model sounds like a good fit for you, but there are lots of configurations to choose from. Few other rifles are generally considered as reliable and user-friendly.

Pick up a copy of Bostons Gun Bible before you spend your dough on a .308.
He compares the various .308s of the world in a variety of ways that answers all your questions and some others you haven't thought of.

If you cant afford an M1A now, keep saving till you can.

BTW, Im a lefty, the M1A controls feel natural.
