Ah, okay, so this seems more of a 308 gun to have. A nice bolt gun will punch paper far beyond 600yds. However if you aren't looking for something that is 1/2MOA or close to, you might look into something along the AR10 lines, OR I will suggest something completely different: an H&K style roller lock 308. Your options are find an H&K and spend $3k+, go with a respected maker (PTR, Zenith, Omega) and spend around $1k, or take a chance on a C308 from CAI for around $500-$700 (depending on whether you went used or new). My C308 runs great and sits a little better than 2MOA, by my best estimates (still having issue with the scope). However most don't. So I would recommend if you are going the roller-lock route, PTR makes the GI which is actually usually under $1k.

Just beware, roller-locks come with side effects: You can't have just one.
