New Rifle

[Bruce Humphris]

I am fairly new to hunting, looking at replacing a loan .303 with my own rifle. Any recomendations on a basic rifle. Have been told to look at a Ruger 308 S/S or a Tikka T3 S/S. Any avise would be welcome.

And what do you intend to hunt with it?

[Bruce Humphris]

Red Deer and Pigs mainly.

sako stainless synthetic in .308 or 6.5x55 is what i'd go for.

[Bruce Humphris]

while i would love to buy a Sako, my budget does not go that far. Im lucky the wife has allowed me to buy a new one at all. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

The new Savage with the accutrigger is a great bargain.

have you bought anything yet, if not what does the budget (wife) allow.
Where in NZ are you!
