Buying new bolt action

I have a Thompson Center Venture Weather Shield in -06. Love the gun!

 

I have this rifle in .308. Keep in mind that with the 1 in 12 twist you will be limited to a max of about 163 grain bullet. Not really a problem, though. I hunt with my Browning BLR in 30.06

This is what I did with my 700. late edit: I see you went with the 30.06. Nice. Enjoy.

 

I am thinking about this one: https://www.turners.com/ruger/ruger-precision-rifle-barrett--664891

Anyone else have one???

 

The basic rifle is good. But at nearly 10 lbs before mounting optics isn't a good choice for hunting. Target shooting,yes. They make the same rifle in hunting configuration that is much lighter and about 1/3 the price. The hunting version comes with 3 round mags, but I have 5 and 10 round mags for mine as well.
