My 13 year-old son is going elk hunting with me for the first time this year, and I'm thinking that he might prefer shooting a .308 to shooting my lightweight 300 WM. I also wouldn't mind adding a .308 bolt gun to my collection. I'm debating between picking up a Tikka T3X Lite Roughtech or Savage 110 UL, and have arrived at these two rifles for both cost considerations and the fact that they come with threaded barrels (he will be hunting with a suppressor).
Which of these two rifles would you recommend? Any other suggestions for ~$1,250 or less?
