A .308 can be very accurate. But most accuracy depends on the person shooting the gun. So the range will depend on your ability to shoot. But if you get to know your gun well and practise with it a lot, you should be able to shoot decently out to 300 yards with a .308. Know your limitations before you go hunting and trying to shoot that far. Practice and find the ammo your gun "likes" the best and you will have a very good gun.
As for prices on a Savage rifle, for the modle 10 with a wood stock and scope goes for around $430 here in MO. That has the accu trigger, which if you ask me, is the greatest thing to come along in years for guns. The Stevens is a Savage rifle without the accu trigger. That would be the modle 200. And you can usually find one for around $300.

Good Choice. Great caliber and Savage makes some really accurate guns -- especially their model 10 series. I think you'll like the 20" bull barrel. The bull barrel is a much more thick & stout barrel and doesn't flex like a thinner barrels. The 20" barrel is much friendlier in the woods and brush than a 24" or 26" barrel, and easier getting into and out of a truck. The only thing you give up is about 50 feet per second in velocity. That is about 100 ft. lbs. of bullet energy --- so instead of launching the bullet with 2700 ft lbs, you are coming out of the muzzle with 2600 ft lbs. The deer won't feel the difference -- you have twice what you need. With the shorter barrel it handles easier, points on target quicker, and is much more convenient in the woods. You should have 1" to 1 1/2" groups at 100 yards with that gun, especially with that Accu Trigger. A real shooter -- right out of the box.

Go with the Model 200 Savage, Great Gun. Great Price, between $250.00 and $300.00..... Super Accurate... I prefer the 30-06.. Better Choice on Caliber........

Savage will run you between $600.00-$700.00 unless you go for the M200 which is about $300.00-$350.00 new.
Mossberg will be about $400.00 for all models bolt action.
Good Luck & Happy Shooting !!!!!
