Compact and Lightweight, Scout-like, .308 Bolt Gun
After having lots and lots of different bolt action rifles over the years, I’d really hate to see anyone end up with a factory action that wasn’t a Tikka. CTR has a really great barrel. Tikka factory trigger is money. But factory mags are not as reliable as AICS pattern. Plus, stock doesn’t have adjustability.
A Tikka barreled action dropped into a KRG Bravo chassis gets you a fine rifle. Upgrade to AICS compatible bottom metal. And you get the adjustability. I don’t think people put enough emphasis on setting the rifle up for proper fit.
Regarding barrel length and caliber: I don’t know what drives you towards 308 but if you haven’t you might take a look at 6.5 Creedmoor. Factory Hornady ammo is cheap, plentiful, and sinfully consistent. I had this caliber in a 16.5” barrel, it’ll make hits on smaller targets at longer distances than your requirements easily.
