[QUOTE="Joe-boy, post: 2956633, member: 113266"] This rifle doesn't have to be able to handle anything larger than a white tailed deer. I already have a 30-06 and see no reason to go for anything bigger. On the top of my caliber list are 6.5 Creedmoor, .308 Win and 6.5x55 SE. I'm not looking for a safe queen, but for something that will see a lot of use and I want to shoot it a lot. Thus the super ultra magnums are not a preference and I don't really think I need one for these purposes. I am also patriotic enough to only consider Sako and Tikka actions. They are for obvious reasons by far the most common where I live, and I have nothing against them, they both are excellent products. Most likely this will be a selection between Tikka T3x and Sako TRG. TRG is kind of a dream rifle for sure, and I have absolutely no reason to think I wouldn't be happy with one, but a T3x action is a very tempting basis for a build as the amount of stocks, accessories and other goodies is unlimited. Practically I don't think a TRG would do anything a Tac A1 or CTR in a nice aftermarket stock wouldn't do, except that only a TRG is a TRG. [ATTACH type="full"]514475[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
