i want a new rifle as my teenage son (soon to get the safety permit) will soon use my lee enfield .308 bolt action for feral hog hunting.

as you'll know, a 4x4 pickup is a perfect hunting "wagon" and Titan's the best at that.

now i'd like a brand new rifle to be hauled in my brand new truck for our hunting trips and to accompany us on our off-road wanderings..

i've narrowed to three:
Remington 7400 wood stock .308 22" bbl $624
Springfield M1A Scout Squad, Walnut stock .308 18" bbl $1727
Springfield M1A SOCOM 16 "ugly plastic" stock .308 16" bbl $1900?

got any ideals or advice?
I'm now looking towards a handy short barrel, wooden stock, .308 semi-action (since we already have a couple of 24" bbl bolt actions)

I'm leaning towards the Remington 7400...
