[QUOTE="ohiohunter, post: 1303749, member: 55230"] The mentioned rifles are on the plate. The 116 and tikka, I told him to not get too eager for the savage until he handles a tikka. Again I don't see this rifle getting regular use unless tags are drawn, and I certainly do not see it going to 1k anytime before 2020. Pursuading him to buy a $300 rangefinder is not likely. The guy only has one eye, obviously the left one, so I don't want to blow his ears out in the event he hunts without ear protection. However I do understand the recoil, and I'm not sure how he'll handle it which is why I've also been considering a lighter caliber like 30-06 or even 6.5 creedmoor. I really like the creedmoor for him, especially its reputation with factory ammo, but there are energy concerns. Even a 308 would be enough for his lack of experience, but the possibility of high winds makes me apprehensive. I'll try to explain to him 1k gun isn't necessary. [/QUOTE]
