Ron, I would rather have a Bolt Action over a lever action are meant for Hunting or the Rifleman:
Here are two Bolt Action Scout Rifles Top one is Ruger and Bottom is Styr: I would prefer the Ruger more ammo:  Here is the Ruger Gunsite Scout Rifle web page: http://www.ruger.com/products/gunsit...le/models.html

Since you have mentioned the .308 caliber, I would go for the bolt action. Everyone needs a good sniper rifle. Levers are fun guns, but I still prefer the bolt for serious shooting.

That's hard to argue with. Other than belt fed I would go with a bolt.

The reason I was thinking .308 is that my SCAR shoots that now. I also have a 300BLK and a 5.56/.223 so I'd like to stay with those calibers rather than have to stock another caliber. .308 is easier to obtain than 300BLK but normally 223/5.56 is easy to find........normally!

from a tactical/survival/HD standpoint i would have to agree with
some type of Scout Rifle in 308cal with good peep sights and a scope would be the way to go, or if you want a sniper rifle some type of Varmint rifle in 308cal with a good scope would be the way to go.however if you have a good sixgun in say 357mag, 44mag, or 45 colt you could have one of the marlin lever action's in the same caliber which would mean you would only have to carry one kind of ammo.
