[QUOTE="blackbrush1, post: 1734854, member: 76932"] I have a Tikka in a Manners with a 23" #3B Bartlein in 6.5x284 Shehane throated long - ASH 3 position safety too. Whiddon custom dies... Need to pare down the number of rifles I have and this is one I'd consider selling. Most anything in 6.5 or 7 (270 has somewhat limited bullet choices) will suit your needs. Effectively in the field for hunting there won't be a big difference unless you're comparing a 26 Nosler to a 7-08 and even then either will do what you need. Go with what excites you. If you want a semi custom rifle setup that won't break the bank, I'd suggest as you're thinking - build on a Tikka. Easy to go long or short action and easy to get a second bolt for different head diameter if you wish. Quality is quite good across the board. It won't be a Defiance but the action alone won't cost you $1500. It's also easy to have multiple barrels in different calibers spun up and then you can shoot what you like on any given day. [/QUOTE]
