Taurus Expedition 3-EXP308181 | .308 Win | 18in | 5rd

The Taurus Expedition (model 3-EXP308181) is a bolt-action rifle built around a Remington 700 footprint that pairs an 18-inch hammer-forged, threaded barrel with a synthetic, scalloped stock designed for stable seating in a gun saddle. It is chambered in .308 Win and feeds from AICS-pattern detachable magazines, giving it a practical balance of compact handling and cartridge performance. For optics, a variable-power precision scope such as the Vortex Viper PST Gen II 3-15×44 provides a capable, sub-$1000 option that suits this rifle’s intended uses.

Recommended uses include medium to large-game hunting and precision field or ranch work where a short, accurate .308 is desirable. The rifle also serves well for accuracy-focused target shooting at moderate ranges.
