I'm planning on getting my husband a new gun for his 50th birthday, I just don't know what to get him. I've heard him talk about a 308 and whatever he has now he says is to heavy and long so it needs to be light and short. He would use it mostly for deer hunting. I can't really spend more than $800 for the gun and scope.

Hi Lana, I would just purchase your husband a Buds Gift Card and let him make the selection of precisely what he wants. There are several 308's that will meet these requirements but he would know best what he needs/wants.  https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/index.php/cPath/834
