[QUOTE="midnightmalloy, post: 441123, member: 25605"] :rolleyes::rolleyes:well here it goes. my dad has knee and shoulder problems so the same old question applies. he turns 60 this year so i want to build him a new rifle. here is the chriteria and what i was thinking. 1. sufficient caliber/cartrige combo to kill mulies and smaller to 500yards 2. as light of recoil as possible (but theres more) 3. no more than 8lb total rifle (all up scope and all) 4. LEFT HANDED (please dont be one of those guys that tells me and the old man for the millionth time to shoot a right handed gun cause you do it) 5. i want it to be fun for him and something thats only his (he's a father of 6 so he never gets what he wants as much as what he can settle for) i have a tikka 595 left hand 22-250 that i want to use as a donor rifle. I was thinking either 6.5 creedmoor w/ 130gr berger vld's or 7mm-08 w/ 140gr berger vld's. mcmillian sako 75 stock (they actually inlet for the LH tikka 595) benchmark 24" #4 lilja contour with a 3 port muscle break I already have a leupold vx-3 4.5-14x40 LR so i could just keep that. any input would be greatly appreciated. Im the last of the 6 so i feel like i owe him. I guess him and mom kept trying to get it right then ended up with me!:rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
