[QUOTE="Black Sheep, post: 728439, member: 36862"] I've got a Tikka T3 Lite Stainless in 270WSM, and I absolutely love it. With no mods to it at all, other than tuning the factory adjustable trigger, I have rang gongs at 700yds, and shot sub moa groups at 500 yards. With my loads, it shoots 1/2 moa at 100 yards. (Haven't shot groups at range since I got my 7STW!) Lite, Cheap, and very accurate. Not a good Coyote gun if you want to keep the pelts! It has killed coyotes, deer, and cow elk. Downside, is not too much upgrade stuff available for when you get the itch down the road! I don't have any personal experience with Savage, so I can't speak for that other than what I read here. Your age, your situation I would suggest either a Rem 700 used from someone here, or what Riley suggested--A Savage weather warrior. Great quality for the price, and way more upgrade capacity than the Tikka. A little over a year ago, I did a LRH class with a former member here, and that SOB got me hooked! He developed the load for the Tikka, and watched with fatherly pride as I squealed like a little girl when I hit the gong at 700! Since then I've bought 3 Leupold 6.5-20 scopes, a Remington Sendero in 7STW, and a custom Remington 700 in 338Edge off of the classifieds here. Having said that, I'll say this---It's a disease! Stay away!!!!! But if you must, spend wisely and give yourself upgrade options! [/QUOTE]
