[QUOTE="7070yshot, post: 1977822, member: 114427"] I would recommend shooting a few rifles then make a decision and first answer the following. 1. What animals do you plan on hunting? 2. How do you hunt? Stalking? Sitting on ground? Sitting in a tree or deer blind? From the back of Jeep/Polaris safari style high seat? 3. Max “Range of Confidence” not what can you a target at but what distance are you confident in taking down any animal from Q1 in one shot? I can hit a mile on a 24in target but that doesn’t mean I’ll ever try that on an animal. 4. Scopes or irons? 5. Will you use the rifle for target shooting? 6. Will you reload or use factory? Answer these questions and that will determine direction IMHO. also Consider doing a partial custom. Allow a qualified gunsmith, such as myself, take a factory rifle, restock it so it fits you, Bed the action to the stock properly, upgrade the trigger and mount a quality scope. test with various ammo to see what works best for the game you intend to use it on.
