[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 1836639, member: 11960"] I don't really have anything new to add, but in the budget you gave I think an Encore with a 6.5x284 barrel would work pretty well. I'm another big fan of the 284 case in specialty pistols, it's a great balance between performance and recoil. I have a Striker in 284 that's been my primary target gun out to about 1200 yards for years. I'd consider it a solid 600 yard hunting gun on deer with a 168gr bullet. If you can track down a good deal on a Savage Striker you would have a lot more options for chamberings while still staying under $1500. I've always been partial to the Striker over the XP-100 just because the Striker has a left hand bolt which works great for a right handed pistol shooter. Strikers are getting harder to find at reasonable prices though. I'm pretty intrigued by the new Nosler handguns and I've just been waiting for a chance to get my hands on one. [/QUOTE]
